    "content": "Hon. Speaker, research shows that very few police officers have the skills to collect, document and preserve crucial evidence such as DNA. In C.K. Achand and 11 others versus Commissioner of Police and three others in 2013, the court observed that failure of the police to enforce existing defilement laws was partly contributed to lack of proper training. It directed the National Police Framework to be made a mandatory component of the training curricular to all police training colleges and institutions. The proposed Section 40C of the Act requires both the national Government and the county governments, in collaboration with civil society organisations, to promote awareness on the negative effects of sexual offences. This is proposed to be done through a comprehensive nationwide education and information campaign conducted through the relevant Ministries, departments, authorities and other agencies. The campaign is to target key groups such as schools, other institutions of learning, all prisons, remand homes and other places of confinement, the disciplined forces and places of work."
