• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the House do now adjourn. My Adjournment Motion is on rape and defilement of girls. I want to, first of all, thank the House for finding this Motion very important to consider. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The number of defilement and rape cases being reported every day is alarming. This is an indication of something being seriously wrong in our society or country. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Defilement and rape cases are too many in this country and they range from infants to girls being defiled and abused by relatives, neighbours, religious leaders, fathers, health workers, guardians, schoolmates, school teachers, public officers and other people. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is even saddening that most of the cases of defilement and rape remain unreported especially in rural and pastoral regions. Every day, the few reported cases give bizarre and horrifying stories with clear absurdity from child defilement, gang rapes, torture of women and girls for as little as Kshs50. This includes rape of grandmothers. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Not even infants are safe from these evil monsters on the prowl preying on innocent girls and women. These monsters and perverts who defile and rape destroy the lives of infants, girls, women, families and communities. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the consequences of defilement, rape and gross abuses have a life time impact on the victims. Defilement and rape is perhaps the greatest injustice a human being can expose another human being to. In Kenya, it was reported that incidences of defilement, rape and abuses have been on the increase but majority of the cases go unreported. It is reported that one out of 20 defiled, raped or generally abused women and girls will report and this is a very sad situation. The most distressing cases have been those of children as young as three years ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Police reported that five children are defiled, three women are raped and many are generally abused in Kenya every day. In the last five months of 2013, 1,428 children were defiled in Kenya which is an increase from 1,216 in 2012. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Population Council of Kenya statistics for 2009, 2010 and 2011 gave very high and alarming rate of defilement and rape cases of over 40,000. This breakdown is very clear. Central Province has 4,658 rape and defilement cases, Coast Province; 3,564, Eastern; 6,359, Nairobi; 3,400, North Eastern Province (for obvious reasons of many unreported cases); 1,580, Nyanza Province; 5,954 and Rift Valley; 10,054. This gives a total of 40,000 cases. This should be a worrying trend for the Republic of Kenya. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, among the defiled cases reported of 40,000, 78 per cent involved children. It is dangerous to be a woman in this country. A recent media report said that a husband brutally murdered his wife because of Kshs50. You know what that amount of money can buy but it has cost human life. Wajir County, which I represent, has experienced a series of defilement and rape cases. In the last two months, we had 21 reported cases. Fifteen cases were defilement cases and this is a very alarming The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: situation. If we continue like this the dignity of women will be affected and it needs a concerted effort of the State and other people to curb this trend. view
