• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: What is most saddening in the defilement and rape cases in that area is that the local people, where these cases happen, like the elders, chiefs and other community leaders do not see this as an abuse. The situation of the six-year old girl from Wajir who was raped a few weeks ago, and I am handling the case, is worrying. She was raped in a village which is about 15 kilometres from the county headquarters. She was looking after her parents’ animals with her elder sister. She was defiled by a person known to her. The sister reported the ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The saddening part was that the health centre could not examine and treat that girl. The chiefs and the elders in that area said that the girl’s defilement case could not be taken to the police. The girl was kept for four days because the father was paid Kshs13,000 by the perpetrator. He was also paid eight goats. This was shared among the local elders, the chief and the Member of the County Assembly who did not find the life of that girl meaningful to the society. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: After one week, the girl developed wounds; she was swollen and was taken to a nearby health facility. Because of the time taken and lack of regard for the girl-child, the medical worker said that she was not raped. The P3 Form also confirmed that the girl was not raped. It is a very unfortunate scenario. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Those are the scenarios everywhere in this country. Health workers do not take seriously the gross abuses against women and children. The police do not have regard for the abused girls. The families of the affected victim get traumatized, stigmatized and isolated from the society. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Kenya is a signatory to the international convention and has also developed the Sexual Offences Act, 2006. Kenya has a duty to protect women and girls from abuse and punish the perpetrators and people who coerce families and victims not to report these cases. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Wajir is a nomadic and pastoral area. The county government and the national Government have failed the young girls who are defiled all over the country. When I was developing this Motion, I thought that this problem affected only Wajir--- view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am almost through. We need to enforce the Sexual Offences Act. There was a taskforce which was established in every sub-county which the Government should fund. The Government should give the necessary administrative support so that rape and defilement cases which are gross abuse of human rights of infants, children, mothers and grandmothers are completely wiped out of this country. This country is not proud because it has a bad image in terms of protecting and promoting the rights of women. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to request hon. J.M. Waiganjo, the Member for Ol Jorok Constituency to second my Motion. view

• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also agree that we need to protect the image of Kenya through leadership. I think we are in this mess because of leadership problems. We have been struggling to bring the list from 25th of last month to date but we have been unable to agree. Sometimes, we need to be bold enough to lay the blame on others. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- By deleting “The Hon. Sen. Janet Ong’era, M.P.” and substituting it therefor with “Hon. ... view
