@wangechigitahi this is what informs my assertion that the penalties are not a slap on the wrist

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

on the contrary the offences under the Anti - FGM Act have minimum sentences and an alternative of a fine of not less than 200k.
where a person dies as a result,life imprisonment is provided for.Rememver this act is practiced among illiterate & poor people

@DianaKendi_M @edbonyo @SadearH @loice_osoro @lolojuberna @TonyMwebia @dianarose254 @WorldVisionKE @abdikaderore @UNICEFKenya 1:Perpetrators need to be tried and convicted. Most people know it's illegal but they know if found at best they get a light slap on the hand 2: Offer pro-active, toll free numbers exclusive for such cases 3: Have special, dedicated undercover teams @NPSOfficial_KE @dkmaraga

@wangechigitahi The community is generally less educated and poor unlike the maasai counterparts in Transmara west

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@wangechigitahi previously where i was a public prosecutor in Transmara especially a place called Emurua Dikirr,the fines of 200k proved to be too high . infact there was an https://t.co/zwF74LrDFo a Nation Media reporter that talked about how the village was in shock of the fine

@DianaKendi_M @lolojuberna @abdikaderore @SadearH @TonyMwebia Thank you for having us

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@wangechigitahi @DianaKendi_M @edbonyo @SadearH @lolojuberna @TonyMwebia @dianarose254 @WorldVisionKE @abdikaderore @UNICEFKenya @NPSOfficial_KE @dkmaraga Toll free numbers were established by the Odpp..

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

ir is criminalised in our act..it only exempts procedures that are made in the effort to correct the effects od FGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

it is difficult to detect this crime especially when https://t.co/ZLGekPw0a5 a medical practitioner,this is done . mostly in Kisii . people pretend the child was sick and that is why she is at the hospital. Also lack of witness

[Diana Kendi @DianaKendi_M]

@loice_osoro And on this, why haven't we heard of a prosecution of any practicing nurse involved in performing #FGM ? #ItTakesUsAllKE to #EndFGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M there is also a need to have a multi-agency approch in enforcement of the Anti-FGM Act.

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M also the medical practitioners need to be trained on how to detect FGMand also on how to fill P3 on reported cases of FGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M also a FGM friendly desks to be established in police stations making it easy for victims to report

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M @edbonyo @SadearH @lolojuberna @TonyMwebia @dianarose254 @WorldVisionKE @abdikaderore @UNICEFKenya provincial administration need to actively reiterate the dangers of the cut as well as the criminal repercussions of the act in Barazas
Every report of an Fgm case be reported to the Odpp for close following
seçurity officers to be sensitised on the act

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M that is hundred percent true, so that even those of who campaign against the cut internalise what it is we are fighting against.most women who have undergone the pretend that there is nothing wrong with the cut,so the younger girls have no reference point

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M @WorldVisionKE @lolojuberna @abdikaderore @SadearH @TonyMwebia @edbonyo Alternative rites of passages also need to devised

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

@DianaKendi_M @WorldVisionKE @lolojuberna @abdikaderore @SadearH @TonyMwebia @edbonyo security officers also need to be sensitised on the law

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

going forward we need more rescue centres,the trial processes to be expedited to avoid interference of witnesse,we also need to device new ways and strategies of fighting the vice.

[Diana Kendi @DianaKendi_M]

Question 4. #ItTakesUsAllKE to #EndFGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

the crime and or practice has become very clandestine posing a challenge for its detection and subsequent prosecution

[Diana Kendi @DianaKendi_M]

Question 4. #ItTakesUsAllKE to #EndFGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

the practice of Fgm is deeply rooted,therefore making it hard for the crime to be detected and prosecuted.
there is low political will from the ruling class to fight the crime
where the offence is reported and perpetrators charged,there are no victim rescue centers for the victim

[Diana Kendi @DianaKendi_M]

Question 4. #ItTakesUsAllKE to #EndFGM

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

this is data collected from the courts of law,active cases

[Hon Abdikader Ore Ahmed @abdikaderore]

This can not be a true reflection. Proper, community based reporting needs to be instituted. #ItTakesUsAllKe to #EndFGM #GBV

[loice osoro @loice_osoro]

the problem is detection of the crime and the willingness of the witnesses to testify against sometimes there own kin.
