Gbotemi Ogunyemi: Politicians and NGOs should commit to the empowerment of cutters who have dropped their cutting knives. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Ada M: From the Gambia I believe we can engage women in political parties, to get them to talk about FGM and also take a stand on the issue. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Amina Mbaabu: The media should sensitive the public on the need to elect politicians that are in the Frontline in the fight against FGM. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Kelvin Mwangi: Yes I agree, if journalists indeed take the lead in the fight against FGM, then so much progress can be made. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Hilary Burrage: Yes indeed, Moraa! But it's hard work, even though there's a lot of costs which must now be acknowledged. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Moraa Obiria: The civil society/media should make them understand the cost of FGM. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Ronald Keter: women reps should support such kinds of forums /campaigns (fight against FGM) #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Hilary Burrage: Very few politicians (anywhere) understand the huge economic costs of FGM. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Washington Odhiambo: Fight against FGM should be part of agenda even in their campaigns…politicians have a big role in ending FGM. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Dennis Maithya: Politicians need to come out bold and stand for truth. Laws are made in parliament but the lawmakers themselves can't come out loud to speak against it. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Moraa Obiria: Only politicians who are passionate about protecting the rights of girls and women can go against the tide to discourage FGM. And often, they are women. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Charles Wanyoro: Politicians in FGM-prone areas mostly don't publicly condemn the vice during an electioneering year to avoid losing votes. I've heard of politicians having their wives cut to win elections. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDhc2TI via @gmcendfgm

Dennis Maithya: Politicians are very witty. they know what the people want on the ground and if you see them shying away from FGM there could be some resistance from the community. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm

Mamadou A.H Bah: For the politicians to implement once elected. This starts from the local council levels moving to the parliamentary members and to the president. #PoliticiansToEndFGM https://t.co/0tDtDgUs2a via @gmcendfgm
