Female genital mutilation have been growing in this country. This done by some few communities which claim that that is part of their culture. Although, they have seesed from withdrawing this behaviour the constitution of Kenya has taken root to cub this problem.
The constitution has put it on notice that whoever is found carrying out this kind of service has be arrested and strict actions be taken upon him.It was recently that over 200 girls ran out of their homes and went to the police station to secure themselves from being multilated.
Otherwise, the constitution itself demands that this is crime and does not contribute towards the rites of a child. Even if some communities are striking hard to retain this culture, the constitution is even taking serious actions upon them.

On one of my holidays which was two years ago, i decided to visit my grandmother who stayed at our farm house back in the village. I arrived well, and was warmly received. After a short while i joined a nearby local government school to start my holiday tuition which my father had said that should attend. When i went to the school on the first day i was astonished to find pupils as old as my elder sister still in primary school since i was the third born in my family the shock grew when i heard the kind of English that our English teacher talked during the lesson. It was he was mixing English with a vernacular language. After doing some research i found out that it has been so for a long time and this has been due to poor education lack of enough and appropriate learning equipments and teachers who lacked skills. When i returned to the city i informed my father about this and he immediately informed the necessary authorities action was taken and from that day learning has been taking place smoothly.
