(Ms.) Rehema Jaldesa","speaker":{"id":601,"legal_name":"Rehema Dida Jaldesa","slug":"rehema-dida-jaldesa"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Petition by the young ambassadors. I congratulate the young ambassadors for tabling a very timely and accurate Petition. I want to share with the House the challenges the girl-child is going through. Only this morning, I dealt with a case of the rape of a 16-year-old girl by a very respectable member of the society in Isiolo. The young girl was raped, impregnated and the same person forced her to abort. I am sad to report that when the matter was taken to court, the person was released with a bail of only Kshs100,000. What we see on daily basis is so painful. The injustice that is committed against the girl- child and women is so heart-breaking. Therefore, I support the Petition and urge The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."}
