    "content": "I agree with Hon. Millie on the harassment of women. I have mentioned before that I am a father of girls. Therefore, when you touch women, I imagine my children, my mother, and my wife in that position. It does not matter whether it is those things that we have seen on social media that Hon. Millie is alluding to, or harassment of ladies in tea estates in Kericho. Harassment of women even happens in homes where they work, in people’s farms, and in companies in Industrial Area. Women are very vulnerable. Even in institutions like Parliament, when women endeavour to rise through the ranks, they are harassed left, right, and centre. That also happens to Members of Parliament. I was just speaking to a female Member of Parliament this afternoon and she told me that she feels like never running for an elective seat again because of harassment on social media. I told her that she should not read whatever is posted on social media. Be like me. If you read what is posted, tell them what they want to hear because nobody has a monopoly on insults. Nobody should harass you because you are a lady. Equally, nobody should harass me because I am a politician. Hon. Millie, if you call me an idiot on social media, I will tell you that you are a bigger one. Of course, Hon. Millie would never call me that. She told me that the things she said in jest the other day were because she just wanted me to trend. I did, by the way. We know each other and that is why I asserted that you will never find photographs of me and her. As a man, where do you find time to take such photographs? You should be ashamed of yourself! Like Hon. Millie said, I wish we could get to know who those people are because they are not men. They are not even babies. Those are LGBTQ people. You should be busy with other activities. You should not be taking photographs."
