    "content": "Dear Hon. Members, today is a very difficult day for me as a woman, a leader and a citizen of Kenya. Today, I have been reminded that slavery still exists in this nation. Today, I stand dejected because this slavery has been going on under our noses as leaders. I cannot explain how a man has violated women in tea plantations for 30 years and nothing has been done. Fellow Members, the tea you drank this morning is laced with blood - blood of women who have been raped on the same soil that they work tirelessly, to fend for their children. This is on land that up to today, cannot be explained how the multinationals acquired in the guise of investment, watch with flowery policies as generations of women get raped one after another, year after a year and everyone around them turns a blind eye. Some of us are incapable of turning a blind to such atrocities. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) last night aired a documentary that took them 18 months to investigate and capture the voices of our mothers, sisters and daughters in the hands of Mr. Jeremiah Kosgei, Mr. Joseph Chebochok, Mr. Samuel Yebei and Mr. John Asava. The crime of rape in tea plantations is one that never stops. It is one that no one wants to make an effort to stop. I want to believe that this House will do everything within its power, to stop it today. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
