    "content": "Now I want to speak about Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. This is a matter that was brought by a lady in Kibra who wakes up at around 2.00 a.m. to fetch water since that is the time the company decides tap water is available. It is not just in Kibra, I remember when I used to live in Kangemi, one would wake up in the wee hours to look for water. I want to tell them that this has to be turned around. What will the caretakers who take care of these estates do? They will now start enticing and telling women that they do not need to wait on a long line to fetch water. They will ensure that they have water, but in return, they have to give sex. Even in sports, we are told by the Deputy Speaker that the ladies in sports face the worst. Since they depend on their coaches for career progression, they give in to their demands. So, Hon. Temporary Speaker, as we speak about this Petition, we want to see an amendment of the Penal Code. The best is to do omnibus amendments in all the Acts we have: The Employment Act, The Sports Act and laws touching on water and sanitation where women have to use their womanhood to obtain what they need. You can imagine water of all the things. Water! It can be very sad when a woman wakes up and knows very well that she has to go and give her body so as to get the only life thing that God gave in this earth. Water is life and that is where we are. So, as I finalise, this is not just a Petition. It is for us to bring in the amendments. First in the Penal Code and all the Acts, so that we stop this thing where women must give sex favours to a man to be listened to, to get nominations, for example, or to become who they want to be. We say no to that, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
