Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was a Statement on the status of women held in prisons and remand facilities in Kenya. She asked for the statistics of women and children, which were given per the former provinces, based on how our prisons are currently structured. In total, we have 2,984 women and 274 children accompanying the mothers. She asked for the capacity of the facilities vis-à-vis the women. Those numbers have been given and so, we know where the shortfalls are in the different provinces. The total prison capacity is 3,124 and we have 2,984 currently in prisons. The third question ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The statement sought by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was about the circumstances surrounding the death of Mary Natembea. The response tells us of when the murder was reported. It was reported by Albert Otude. He said that he visited a shop rented by Mr. Stanley and his wife Mary Natembea and found the shop locked from inside on 5th February, 2018. On checking, a strong smell was coming from the shop prompting him to report the matter to the police. The scene was visited and it was established that the body of the late Mary ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in terms of the specific questions asked and the response from the Government, the response is holistic in terms of what the Government is doing. The onus is on us, as a Committee, to interact with these departments so as to make sure that they do more though they have told us what they are doing, which is what was sought after. We think that more can be done, especially for victims of GBV and how to prevent GBV. That will be in the interaction of the Committee with these departments.

No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. She is not a Member of this Committee, but she is a Member of a relevant Committee where I am also the Chairperson. That is the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare where we are addressing the issues of women and children who are victims of GBV. We will still handle the same matter in that Committee.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. We have attached the post-mortem report on the Statement which says it was asphyxia as a result of hanging. However, the police have gone beyond that and opened an inquest. They are trying to seek out the husband of the deceased on top of what have come out from the post-mortem. They want to see if, maybe, he might exhibit certain suspect behavior. This is because you can die of hanging, but you were hanged.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will just give a summary because the Senator has this response. The request for Statement was on the registration of births and deaths in Kenya. The Member wanted to know the process of acquiring birth certificates in Kenya and why the Nandi Hills and Kapsabet Registries are inefficient and corrupt, what the Government is doing to simplify the process to comply with the timelines especially because of the new policy by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to have all children in schools get the unique personal identification or identifier and the reforms that ...
