    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the Governor of Isiolo did is a criminal offence that can amount to an impeachment. He has violated the Chapter 6 of the Leadership and Integrity Act. I had the privilege to work with the EACC and I implore the women of Isiolo County to come out and write an impeachment against him. If we have female Members of County Assembly (MCAs) in Isiolo County, they should know that the Swahili people say; “when you see your friend's head being shaved, you are next.” They should know that this is an attack on the women of Kenya, the pastoralist women and this House. I am very hurt that I saw a public officer making such reckless remarks, regardless of the fact that he has children, mother, wife and sisters. How does this man sleep at night? This is what has normalized sexual harassment and cyber bullying, always making women objects of sexism. It is disrespect to the women leadership. I would like to also urge Kenyans who are also involved in this, that you better have facts of what you say about people. I have personally borne the brunt of this nonsense being peddled online. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we assure you and every other Kenyan that as women and as the Vice-Chairperson of Kenya Women Senators, we are not in these political spaces to sell ice cream. We will fight because we belong to these spaces and nobody will intimidate us. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a purpose and a reason they call things private. When you hear of private land, no trespass, private parts, no trespass. Nobody has the right to dictate how somebody utilizes anything that is private to them. Let this be known across the whole country, that we are not apologetic about being in these spaces. The target has always been on the strong women of integrity. They should look at our history and how we got here. We got here because we did not compromise on integrity. As a personalist woman from Baragoi, I am ready to take anybody who brings that nonsense to me, head on. I urge my elder sister, Fatuma Dullo---"
