    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for the order of business next week. I would just like him to clarify why it is not in the interest of the House for the HBC to prioritise amendments to the Sexual Offences Act, given the high number of cases of girl pregnancies in schools, especially touching on Homa Bay as number two. Why have they not prioritised amendments by Hon. Florence that touch on sexual offences? This is because the issues of girl pregnancies are a sexual offence matter. It is not just an education issue. We need our police to come in, arrest and jail the people who are making school girls pregnant. Perhaps, the Leader of the Majority Party was saying, in terms of learning, that he would want to teach us. I know in Islamic culture they do not tolerate people who joke with school girls. I think that standard and measure that is put in the Islamic faith must be put in our laws and implementation so that even in cases like that, we must deal with them very seriously. I did not like the first time when Hon. Njoki proposed castration. Perhaps, this is the time to castrate people who are joking with our girls. My question is why the HBC has not prioritised the Bill that is being sponsored by Hon. Florence Mutua that touches on cases of sexual violence, especially touching on girls."
