    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.261 of 2018 to Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: - a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that a young boy, Master Juliano Kanyonyo Mbatha of 15 years from Gatitu Primary School lost his life through circumstances that indicate he was murdered during healing period after circumcision as a result of inability to produce an extortion bribe by mentors in Kandara Constituency? b) Is the Cabinet Secretary further aware that Master Evans Wanyoike Ngaruiya of 14 years was admitted at Maragua Level 4 Hospital and Master Nelson Njuguna is currently hospitalized at Gaichanjiru Mission Hospital after undergoing circumcision in an environment suspected to be unhygienic and unprofessional? c) Is the Cabinet Secretary further aware that young initiates are being recruited into organized criminal groups such as Gaza, Mungiki, 42 Brothers and Usiku SACCO which are exposing them to drugs and other criminal activities including recruitment into early sex at ages below 18 years? d) What measures is the Ministry undertaking to ensure that this matter is investigated and culprits brought to book including cracking down of the resurgent criminal groups? I am just from burying Master Juliano Kanyonyo in Gatitu Village. I have read the newspapers this morning and seen numerous other cases including a death in Limuru and other places that really need very serious attention of this House and the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and possibly the Cabinet Secretary for Health. There is also the case of demanding chicken from vulnerable women and vulnerable widows. They also have to cook for these small groups of young boys and men for seven to 21 days in the name of young boys passing into adulthood."
