"content": "46 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 Having said that, I want to encourage hon. Mbarire who is the Chairperson of KEWOPA, together with hon. Shebesh; if the Inspector- General refuses to take up this matter to charge the suspects, then we should file a case charging the Inspector-General for failing to exercise due diligence. We are not going to have men threatening women all the time. This is not just an issue of dressing. Last week, I, hon. Odhiambo-Mabona, hon. Member for Mbita, got threats that I am going to be stripped because I have a differing opinion on political issues with some people. I have just told hon. Midiwo that it is unfortunate for them. If you strip me, I will wear my high heels and catwalk. However, for the sake of other women who cannot cat walk, let them not dare joke with our women. They should not try to indignify. I want to agree with the hon. Member who said that women must dress decently, decently according to who? I was going to dress in a miniskirt, but because it is cold, I have worn a long dress with a slit. When I wear a long dress, hon. Duale may decide that I am indecently dressed because I am not wearing a Hijab . So, if we decide to follow standards, then it means half of women in this country are indecently dressed and they should be stripped. Standards of dressing according to who? My mother who was a staunch Christian and the most decent woman I have ever known, has a photo of a miniskirt which even me, as daring as I am, cannot wear. So, let us not go into what is decent or not. If you think your child is dressed indecently, tell him. Do not even tell your wife because she is an adult. With those remarks, I support."
