The high court in Machakos has a few minutes ago heard a case filed by doctor Tatu Kamau, who wants female circumcision legalised, will proceed or not. Dr Kamau, who has been practising medicine for 26 years, wants the court to declare as unconstitutional an act that outlawed female genital mutilation. She argues that stopping women from undergoing the cut yet men are allowed to get circumcised is discriminatory.
