President Uhuru Kenyatta has said ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is key to empowering the girl child in Kenya to take part fully in national development.
“If we want to achieve our national goals, we have to change and offer our girls opportunities in education to excel,” said President Uhuru. If you look around the world, women are holding influential positions and we don’t want to be left behind because of retrogressive cultural activities.
Uhuru spoke Friday at Kisima in Samburu County where he witnessed the signing of a declaration by elders to end FGM and child marriages.

A series of campaigns in support of the proposed constitutional changes by Kanu chairman Gideon Moi have stirred discussion on his political game plan in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s succession matrix.
Gideon has sustained his tours across the country, promoting the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which has been interpreted as a sign that he is keen to champion the reform agenda and play a key role in the 2022 General Election.
The Baringo Senator has so far held rallies in Migori, Narok, Bomet, Embu, Nairobi, Nyeri, Elgeyo Marakwet and Samburu counties in the last couple of weeks to drum up support for the BBI, with his eyes firmly fixed on the 2022 succession.
