Hon. Mumina Bonaya: A Fearless Voice for the Voiceless in the Fight Against Femicide

Isiolo County Woman Representative  Hon. Mumina Bonaya has once again demonstrated why she is widely regarded as a fearless defender of justice and a steadfast voice for the voiceless.

During a parliamentary session on Wednesday evening, Hon. Bonaya sought answers from the Vice Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding three cases of femicide that have raised public concern. While she expressed satisfaction with the responses provided on two of the cases, she strongly challenged the handling of the case involving six-year-old **Zulfa Gollo Gimbe**.

Describing the response as disappointing and inadequate, Hon. Bonaya called for fresh investigations into the matter, insisting that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done. She emphasized that the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of the young girl require a thorough and transparent review to ensure accountability and closure for the family.

Her intervention reflects her unwavering commitment to protecting women and children and her determination to ensure that victims of violence are not forgotten. Hon. Bonaya has consistently used her position in Parliament to advocate for stronger measures against gender-based violence and femicide, speaking boldly on behalf of victims whose voices can no longer be heard.

At a time when the country continues to grapple with rising cases of violence against women and girls, her persistence in demanding answers and accountability serves as a powerful reminder of the role leaders must play in safeguarding vulnerable members of society.

For Hon. Mumina Bonaya, the fight against femicide is not merely a political issue—it is a moral obligation. Her call for a repeat investigation into the case of Zulfa Gollo Gimbe demonstrates her belief that every life matters and that every victim deserves justice, regardless of age, background, or circumstance.

As she continues to champion the rights of women and children, Hon. Bonaya remains a beacon of hope for many families seeking justice. Her courage, compassion, and determination have earned her recognition as one of the strongest voices in the national conversation on ending femicide and protecting the most vulnerable members of society.
