My testimony elicited is freely and voluntarily made, without any kind of duress hence by informing you that the said person has been undergoing traumatizing moment, emotionally, physically and mentally when she refused her daughters to under Female circumscion (Female Genital Mutilation) as required by the Abagusii tradition and culture.
