    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As I stand here, I speak as the immediate former Vice-Chairperson of KEWOPA, as a mother and as a woman. Member for Kericho County, what you have done is slightly beyond your mandate, but it is a favour to the women of this country. As a County Woman Representative, you are a watchdog for all the vulnerable members of the society. I congratulate and thank you for being bold enough to bring this discussion on the Floor of this House. The Hon. Member has given an opportunity to many women. She has opened the lead to what thousands of women go through in this country, regardless of their age. Young teenage girls, young ladies, women my age, older women than me and married women face this same issue in different institutions and circumstances. What is happening to women in this country even discourages young girls from furthering their education. The Government has put a lot of effort in affirmative action in supporting the girl child so that she can compete equally with the boy child. Unfortunately, the experiences that many young girls go through make them think that they do not need to struggle very hard to study. This is because whether you are educated or not, you are only asked for one thing when you are seeking employment or promotion - sex. The most unfortunate thing about this is that the woman ends up paying the price. She either gets infected or gets an unwanted pregnancy. Many times, the woman does not get the job that she gave sex for because the person who asked for the sexual favour was not sincere."
