"content": "The Ministry should put a budget aside. We should address the issues of women and families so that we get shelters for the vulnerable. If we do not get such shelters, then all will just be in vain. These shelters will stop cases of child trafficking. Some of the rape cases are very disturbing and such women and children need to recover in such shelters. In the interest of time, all these gender based violence activities must be condemned. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of the interest of time, I condemn all these gender based violence activities and I condemn that man from Makueni County who did batter the wife. That clip has gone viral. I thank the Director of Criminal Investigations, the Officer Commanding Police Division together with the Makueni County Commission for taking action. This one does not heal. Because of interest of time, I beg to move and call upon Hon. Kioni to second. I am sure he really supports the fight against gender based violence. I do not know whether men are also battered. We should eliminate this against the women. I call for support from the Members as I am looking forward to bringing amendments to the Act so that we can make laws. As we say, Members of this House are getting tired of urging and because of the issue of the budget we are not able to resolve. However, we must speak for our people."
