"content": "My hypothesis is that all these go in the same direction with the single life that is increasing in our country. In our old society, nobody was allowed to be without a wife. If you could not afford it the clan was responsible and women were given the power to discipline these men. Science tells us that as hormones build in the male, they can even become insane. I wish Fatuma had come with an actionable Motion. Bringing this as a Motion for Adjournment really is insufficient and we must follow it up with definite action. I would wish to propose that first of all we mandate a comprehensive study out of the 40,000 victims and 40,000 perpetrators. We need clear researched information as to what motivated the action they took. The rate of 100 rapes per day is what we are facing now in Kenya. Following that kind of research, we must have the right laws and amendments so that definite action can be taken because the Adjournment Motion as it is, is not sufficient even for the Committee on Implementation to take any action. I support and request a follow up Motion that would be actionable than what we have but we cannot continue to observe this situation worsening day by day. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
