When I was in the former Ministry in charge of gender I was with my able PS, Hon. (Prof.) Nyikal, and this was our agenda. One of the issues that we found out, and which needs to be looked at very carefully was that we would collect girls and take them away in December when this heinous act was being undertaken; unfortunately in January the girls had to go home for school fees and the parents would be waiting for them.
