    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion. Indeed, in modern day society, violence against anybody should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. More so, when the violence is in the nature of rape, it even makes it more painful and indeed more humiliating thus calling for the strongest possible condemnation and action recommended in the toughest measures. Cases of gender violence and rape appear to be increasing in Kenyan society for reasons ranging from deviation from the societal norms that existed in African cultures in the past. These kind of actions were, indeed, condemned very strongly leading to punishment that included sentencing the person or the aggressor for life. The aggressor could be condemned in life or banished from a certain region. Sometimes they would be executed and, indeed, killed. These days, the girl- child is becoming most vulnerable. We see stories day in, day out in the newspapers of girl-children being raped in their parents’ houses, in schools, and out there as they go to fetch water for their families. We do not see the same amount of convictions and punishments being given in the volume that we see of these incidents happening. This is what is very worrying. That actually means that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
