CS Murkomen raises concern over increased GBV cases in Taita Taveta

Speaking during the final leg of the Jukwaa la Usalama security baraza of the coastal edition in Taveta, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said reported cases range from rape to early forced marriages. 

CS Murkomen added that there is a need to address the cultural behavior regarding gender protection in Taita Taveta County to stop the vice.

The Ministry of Interior stated that it will address key issues raised by Coast region residents during the week-long security barazas in Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Tana River, and Taita Taveta counties. 

These include insecurity caused by youthful gangs, land disputes, school dropouts, among others.
