    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. We are fully aware that these people suffer and they take time to recover. So, setting up these trauma centres will assist them recover, collect themselves and move forward. It is also very important, while supporting this Motion, to note that we really need to be serious in terms of implementing whatever this House approves. That is the only way we can give Kenyans value and appreciate ourselves. Coming up with such a Motion and debating it requires a lot of thinking and research. The only way to complement such efforts is to ensure that whatever we approve is implemented. Approving or supporting and implementing are different things altogether. This is a Motion whose time has come. We have a lot of victims who are struggling to recover from such criminal activities of rape, molestation and gender-based violence. Every day, you see people on social media being abused. Such centres will assist the victims to recover faster. We ask security agencies, as we try to assist the victims to recover, to ensure that the criminal elements and gangs who perpetuate these heinous acts are prosecuted. For this very reason, I support this Motion."
