    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44, I rise to make a general statement regarding an allegation of mistreatment of female employees working at Brown Cheese Company in Tigoni, Limuru, Kiambu County. On or about Tuesday, 4th July 2023, female employees at the Brown Cheese Company Limited located in Kiambu County were forced to undress at work by a senior manager after being accused of disposing of a used sanitary towel in the wrong disposal bin. With the rising cases of gender discrimination in the country, the three senior managers acted against the Menstrual Hygiene Management Policy. It is disheartening to note that the said managers are female. We commend the police for having swiftly taken action and arrested the culprits. Hon. Speaker, while we note this laudable action by the police, we strongly condemn the callous treatment given to the female employees of Brown Cheese Company Limited, and we demand further action against the senior manager for acting inhumanely. As the Member of Kiambu County, and this being a very weighty matter for me and, indeed, for the people of Kiambu and the country at large, I will be taking it up with the relevant Government agencies to ensure that justice is served. Also, those multinational companies should now start to take care of the people they have employed and note that they owe an apology not only to their staff, but also to the women of this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
