    "content": "when she was raped. She rushed to a police station to report the incident and a policeman at the desk asked her how the incident started. He criticised how she was dressed and told her that she had invited the rapist. Instead of feeling empathy for the hurt person, who is normally emotionally drained, you castigate them. All women in this world need to be protected and not to wallow in the miasma of despair. I pity the Kericho tea estate workers. We should not even be discussing the matter. These people are known and it is on record. They have been named. The women who complained are still hurting. I do not know why there has been no progress. The women are ready to give evidence at any time. The bureaucracy in the corridors of justice should be shortened when cases like these occur. I am a mother of twin girls. I would be very upset if my girls came and told me that a man had touched them. Sexuality is not just about what happens under the blankets, it also involves the words that badly-cultured people use. It involves phrases like “ugly”, “Oh! You are not sexy! Let me see if you are good enough”, and such like words. Those are people who are misogynistic. In Kenya, we have come a long way where men and women should be sensitive enough and know how to treat each other well; whether they are in a public office or private one. I should not be desperate to get a job if I have merit and experience. Even in county offices, there are many women who are begging to be nominated and promoted. They do this through other means and I know everybody understands what I mean. So, let the women get the jobs and be promoted on merit not because they put their pants down or unzip for a man to get favours. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
