    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. This issue was discussed in the case of Kericho tea farms where women and the vulnerable get all sorts of challenges. It did not just start today. Even in the offices we have worked in, for a woman to get a promotion, she has to give in to sex. This is common knowledge. Even in colleges, for you to get good grades, if you do not give your body to the teacher or the lecturers, you remain there. Women who have firm characters rise very slowly, or sometimes they never rise. This is an omission that came in the Sexual Offences Bill. I think it should have been there. It was a serious omission. We have seen it even with our lady athletes. We have seen them even being killed by people who come in as their coaches, and then their friends, and then eventually their husbands because of their money. That is why they get into this problem. This cuts across. As much as Dr. Makali says it happens to boys, it is more challenging to women to make it to any end. You have to give yourself to men for sex. This Petition has come on time because we have to keep on amending the laws as the country evolves, and as the country moves on because these are new things that are coming up. Maybe some of these things were never discussed. You would never say why you never got a promotion. You would never say why you did not get your grades. You would never say why we were not even selected into a certain team. So, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the Petition. Thank you."
