"content": "I feel I have the responsibility to protect other women who are going through the same as they bring up their children singlehandedly. It is time this Parliament acted in very stern words and actions so that we can address the issue of sexual harassment once and for all. There is also cyber bullying that has happened to one of the leaders of this country through a video circulating in social media. It is time this Parliament amended laws to be in tandem with current technology. This is because issues of cyber bullying tend not to have any backlash from the laws that we have in Kenya. People can easily bully you on social media, and can even throw insults to politicians. However, no stern step can be taken. We must come up with laws that will be in tandem with the social media and technological advancements of this country. This will help address these sexual predators once and for all. It is very unfortunate that such an injustice can be done to one person; affect her family, husband and children for a lifetime, yet the person who has done that goes scot-free. He must also suffer a lifetime sentence as the family also suffers a lifetime sentence of torture and trauma. It is time we had very serious deliberations on the route that this country is taking because if we go that direction, we will have a very sick society. This is because people can use these photos in a perverted way; to satisfy themselves from these videos and take matters into their own hands literally. It needs to stop once and for all. I submit. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
