    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. It is very unfortunate and unbearable to talk about this Motion on violence against women. This is something that touches some of us very deeply. We know that there are many NGOs and other civil society groups which champion these issues, but I do not see what they do. We cannot even see what they do. We need to discuss this matter. We are the law makers and we need to do something about this. It is not something we can just ignore. We need to act very quickly. Defilement, rape, and sexual abuse have become national issues. It is becoming worse. For the last two months, it has been increasing. I have victims from my county and I am doing a follow up on their cases. Last Monday, a 13 year old girl was raped and burnt. Her body could not be recognized. On 23rd of last month, I was in Meru Court with a 12 year old child who had been raped. The girl was taken to hospital and the male doctor said that he had seen nothing. I called the doctor personally because I had his name, phone number and everything. I asked him if he had examined the girl. Do you know what he told me? He told me that he did not have the equipment to use in the hospital. This is not something that I will keep quiet about. I decided to take the girl from Meru and I brought her to my house. She is in my house right now. I took her to hospital in Nairobi and we are waiting for the medical results. This happened two months ago; I hope they will see something. This little girl has been affected physically and emotionally. She cannot take a shower unless I am present. I have to sit at the entrance of the bathroom as I watch her. She cannot even stand the men who live in the House. I have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
