Kiambu County Assembly has a passed a motion compelling the county government to develop a framework that will effectively deal with rape cases.
A motion tabled by nominated member, Wanjiku Kibe and approved by the members urges the county to develop a comprehensive post rape care policy to complement the National Government efforts in addressing rape incidents, which she said have been on the increase.
Key among the issues is the establishment of a forensic laboratory in the county for effective gathering and storage of DNA samples after reported rape cases.
The proposal also seeks to establish proper coordination and collaboration among law enforcers, hospitals and community through an all-inclusive sensitisation, prevention and management of post rape care.
