    "content": " I thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to support this Report. The residents of these tea estates need help. This Report has mentioned very many things. From my thinking these are people who are either married, single or have families with children some whose partners are aware of what is happening but because of the fear of being sacked from employment, have kept quiet. For the sake of the families living in those tea estates, we need to act upon this Report as a House. As many Members have said, this issue is happening in many other parts of this country. Sexual harassment is an issue that I am still trying to grapple with because it beats logic. Some of these bosses have families and if they are exposed then they will not be safe. This should not be allowed to continue. It has been an occurrence even before the tea estates. This issue should be dealt with immediately with the media having highlighted it and the Committee having visited the area. Those women have suffered enough. We have to stand up for the women of Kenya and take the lead by implementing this Report. If we debate it here and take no further action, we will not have solved anything. From the narration of the individuals affected, it is unacceptable that this should continue happening in Kenya. We have the power and the ability to stop it and with that I want to support. Let us work on it, implement this Report and condemn these barbaric acts. I thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker."
