• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) how many medical doctors have been trained to manage victims of sexual violence under the National Guidelines on Management of Sexual Violence in Kenya; (b) whether there is a protocol between the Ministry of Medical Services and the Judiciary for special court attendance by doctors during hearing of cases involving sexual and gender-based violence; and, (c) how many Government doctors are available to attend to victims of sexual abuse in Nairobi. Before the Minister responds, I just want to find out the following:- Last week, there is a Question that was dropped and ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to say that I am very concerned that the Minister, first, did not supply me with a written answer, and I can see why. It is because he has set up a very good Question and answered it. I am not the one who asked the Question he is answering. The reason is because he has given me several numbers of doctors who are available in the country, when my Question is very specific. I have asked how many medical doctors have been trained to manage victims of sexual violence ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not talking about whether sexual violence is a specialty in Kenya, unless we are saying that Kenyan men are weird. There is no country which can say that sexual violence is a specialty. What I am asking the Minister--- There are very clear guidelines that I was even a party to developing with the Ministry of Medical Services, and doctors are meant to be trained. What the Government did was to take those guidelines and keep them, instead of training the doctors about them. What I am asking is: ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to table a report by The Cradle, The Children Foundation called “ Healing the Scars; Milestones, Lessons andProspects ” which is monitoring cases on violence against children for 2010. That report quotes the police report at page 23, which shows that cases of rape, defilement and incest against children are on the rise, including unnatural offences, bestiality, indecent assault and abduction. Also, even at page 24, using The Cradle’s own reports over the years, the figures have been increasing every year. As at 2010 it stands at 81 per cent of cases of ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since I was involved in founding The Cradle in 1997 to date, we have been saying one story; that there is one doctor called Mr. Kamau. Everybody in the sector knows. He cannot handle all the cases of sexual abuse, especially against children. So, most of the children are never examined. So, people who sexually abuse children go scot-free because we only have Dr. Kamau. What can the Minister do to just add another Dr. Njoroge or Dr. Otieno or Dr. Ligale or whatever the name, to deal with cases of people abusing children? view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I am substantiating is that the Minister said that there are several doctors when there are none. This report is actually saying that there is only one, that is, Dr. Kamau. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I, therefore, table the document? view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to this one, I am the expert. I have worked on this issue since 1997. I am the expert. I was the one who drafted the Sexual Offences Act. I would like to tell you that any doctor can receive children. But only one Dr. Kamau handles cases of sexual violence. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will say and if there is a panel that can examine us, I am willing to subject myself to it. I am more of an expert than Dr. Eseli. I have trained internationally, locally and have expertise on this issue, but do I say? view
