Dorice Donya","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the tragic death of Ms Sylvia Kemunto Ayaye and the escalating cases of gender-based violence in the country. The nation was recently shaken by the horrific killing of Ms Sylvia Kemunto Ayaye of identification card No.231943385, a student at Multimedia University in Nairobi. Her body was discovered dumped in a rooftop water tank at the institution. According to the Government’s pathological report, the cause of death was strangulation. The prime suspect, Mr Philip Eric Mutinda, confessed to premeditated actions, including targeting Ms Sylvia while she was alone, making unwanted advances and when rejected, resorting to fatal violence. He alleges that he later concealed her body in a suitcase before dumping it in the water tank. This heartbreaking incident is not isolated and reflects a disturbing pattern of violence against women and girls across the country, particularly within institutions of higher learning. Ms Kemunto’s case has exposed glaring gaps in the safety protocols at these institutions, and a lapse in societal accountability and our national commitment to ending gender-based violence. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following— 1. The circumstances leading to the killing of Ms Sylvia Kemunto, including how the suspect accessed the victim's room at the university. 2. Report on the status of investigations and actions being taken by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the National Police Service to prosecute the perpetrator of this heinous act. 3. Report on the immediate and long-term measures put in place within institutions of higher learning to guarantee the safety of all students, particularly female students who remain disproportionately vulnerable. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."},{"id":1557364,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1557364/?format=json","text_counter":72,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
