Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am aware that Hon. Kassait Kamket asked about the issues of Tiaty earlier on. First, as you know, today we are mourning and the Chairperson and I were out of the Chamber. I want to give assurance to the Member and this House that on Thursday, we will bring a comprehensive response to that matter. We know there are serious issues in Tiaty. We have also written a letter to the Inspector-General of Police so that the community there can access their basic needs. We are aware there is a roadblock. There are ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the people of Wajir County, I join the House to pay my condolences to the family of Hon. Yusuf Haji and the people of Garissa. It is a big loss to us as Kenyans and the people from the northern region. Hon. Yusuf Haji was a peacemaker. He was very honest. He was the glue that brought many people together. Whenever there was a conflict in the region, he was out there trying to bring people together. For us, it is a very ...

Hon. Speaker, I am very emotional. At the outset, I want to thank the Chair of this Committee. Now I know why the former Chair could not bring such a Motion. It is because there are very many victims in this House. I must say without fear, because I want to encourage women and girls, that I am a victim. We must not shy away from this; we must not. It is not a good thing. Hon. Millie told us that there is a no religion that says…

There is no religion that encourages FGM. We are misusing the cultures and it is high time we joined hands to fight this. In my view, we must declare FGM a national disaster so that everybody, including religious leaders and civil societies, help to demystify this issue. I do not agree with what is in the Motion concerning the use of target groups, for example, chiefs, for sensitization. In any case, they are the ones who conceal and even encourage those acts in our villages. As a House, we must come up with a serious and tight policy because it ...

section during delivery of my three children. You can only imagine the pain. Therefore, it is good that we also encourage others because it is very difficult. There is also bleeding for girls. Apart from the complications I have mentioned, FGM has also destroyed families. The divorce rate in areas that FGM is practised is about 60 to 70 per cent. The Member for Mavoko has told us something that I do not want to repeat because we are on live television. Hon. Gladwell asked: What is the difference between a cut and uncut woman? Hon. Speaker, I ask for ...
