    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity so that I can add some observations on this Motion. First, I oppose the Motion as it is. I ask Hon. William Cheptumo to use this House to draw the Government’s attention to stop that menace once and for all. This has been a culture and being Kenyans, we are aware that our brothers and sisters in West Pokot, Turkana, Baringo, Garissa and Wajir have lived with that. That is because it has been their culture. However, it is high time they stopped that primitive way of life. This culture is outdated. Let the Hon. Members and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) from those areas ask the Government to facilitate them to discuss with opinion leaders and elders like me. They should invite us to go there and address the matter. That is a primitive culture which must be stopped. Hon. Wario has given us a formula and stated what we have seen in other areas, and I congratulate him for that."
