    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support Mr. Haji for this job. The DPP is a very critical office to hold. I also note that he comes from the pastoralist communities. The one thing I hope he will deal with very firmly is gender-based violence and prosecutions. We recently had a case of a 15-year old girl who was raped repeatedly for three days by men in Wajir. The culture of sweeping such an issue under the carpet or sitting under trees to solve such a matter in the name of Maslaha … He must decisively deal with and put it to a close. Girls are being abused right, left and centre just for people to be given goats and land as compensation. We must see Mr. Noordin taking decisive action against Maslaha. We must also speak against it. It is not just limited to one community. Other communities may not have a word for it, but they still do it. We have many cases of incest, rape and defilements that are swept under the carpet by wazees sitting under a tree or in a hut purporting to resolve or arbitrate. This must end."
