Police arrest 10 women for FGM in Narok

Due to participating in the outlawed Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), police in Narok have arrested 10 women among them four girls in Naroosura and Olkilai villages in Narok South Sub-County.

Area County Commissioner George Natembeya said the special police unit known as Anti-FGM police acting on tip off from members of the public busted the women among them two mothers of the girls after subjecting the girls to the ‘cut’.

Mr Natembeya added that they in the second incident managed to get one girl and her mother at Olkilai area near Ololung’a trading center.

“FGM is illegal and we shall never relent until were drastically reduce the cases and there is huge hope that this illegal practice will end,” said Mr Natembeya adding that the suspects will be arraigned in court soon.

The administrator also reiterated that his earlier announcement that school girls will be subjected to FGM tests as schools re-open for the first term next year still stands.
