The Standard e-Paper
Home To Bold Columnists
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The High Court’s ruling upholding the ban on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) will give a much-needed boost to the fight against the vice.
Kenya outlawed FGM a decade ago. FGM-related offences attract a jail term of three years and a Sh200,000 fine. But the practice still persists as some communities see it as necessary for social acceptance and increasing their daughters' marriage prospects.
