    "content": "there is a gap in our law enforcement, particularly in our police force. Some hon. Members who spoke before me said that the girl- child once abused or raped undergoes a lot of humiliation for her to prove that she was indeed harmed. Teachers who are associated with defilement or impregnating their students should be punished. It is something that is happening quite a lot. A girl-child who has unfortunately been raped or has been impregnated should be allowed to resume classes. In the ongoing exams, we have had cases of head teachers denying innocent children an opportunity to sit exams after they have given birth or even when pregnant. We need to encourage the girl- child to continue with her education, but punish the person who has caused her harm. The girl-child should continue with her education so that she does not become condemned in life. In many cases, she was just but an innocent victim of a rape case. The situation has been that instead of the rapist being condemned and punished for that particular act, it is the girl-child now who bears the unfortunate consequences of that particular action. Indeed, violence against women and men as well--- We have seen many cases of men being beaten and abused. We have seen men being chopped off very important parts of their lives. We need to condemn this in the strongest terms possible. There should be a task force within the police force to deal with these cases. This has become too much. There are, probably, more cases of rape than robbery in Nairobi today."
