    "content": "Therefore, because we have many cases of assault all over the country, the public hospitals in Kenya should make an effort of establishing desks whereby victims of crime are attended to. Such a desk should never be manned by inefficient persons at any given time. If the medical examination is not done, say in a case of rape, within a specific time, it may end up being difficult to prove. This actually amounts to injustice to women and yet women of this country must be protected. They must be given justice because they deserve it. In the first place, I suggest that when rape victims go for medical examinations, they should be examined free of charge. I would like to end my contribution by supporting Hon. Mwinyi’s Motion, which is important. I call upon the Inspector-General (IG) of Police, and all those officers serving below him, to ensure that they are available to help victims of crime and assault when they go to seek justice in police stations. As it is now, Kenyans do not feel free to go to police stations because of the old culture of fearing police officers. Today, police officers are part of the community. All efforts must be made to integrate police service and have a linkage with communities, so that they can work together as partners. With those few remarks, I support."
