Seven First Ladies drawn from counties practising Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) have joined hands in the fight against the vice as they had the Kuria community sign a document which will help end the retrogressive cultural practice in Migori.

The seven First Ladies, who include, Alamitu Guyo Jattani (Marsabit), Sabina Mwadime (Taita Taveta), Scovia Chebet (West Pokot), Agnes Ntutu (Narok), Edna Lenku (Kajiado), Emily Nyaribo (Nyamira) and Agnes Ayacko (Migori), said it was through community engagement that the vice could be ended.
