Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary, (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen has warned chiefs that arbitration of defilement and Gender Based Violence (GBV) cases will not be allowed.
Speaking during the official opening of modern dormitory at the Kitondo Boys Secondary School, Murkomen reminded the chiefs that if caught they will face the law.
“All such cases must end in court for the law to take its cause. We cannot allow sexual offences from any side. We must take all legal actions to protect our children against their perpetrators,” CS said.
He called upon parents especially mothers who hide cases of their daughters when defiled by their fathers adding that there is nothing to hide since that seizes to be a father but an animal and should face the law.
Murkomen also warned that crackdown on illicit brew will continue urging the public to take the legalized and licensed brew only to avoid problems with the law.
