"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the concerned citizens of Kenya, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 119 of the Constitution affirms the right of every individual to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation; THAT, sextortion, the abuse of power to coerce individuals into providing sexual favours, has become a pressing issue in the country, causing immense harm to victims and eroding trust in public and private institutions; THAT, demands for sex in exchange for essential resources, services and opportunities is both an infringement of human rights and a significant obstacle to achieving development goals predicated on gender equality, transparent and accountable governance; THAT, our laws do not specifically, recognise or define sextortion as a form of sexual exploitation, harassment and corruption, thus hindering effective prosecution and victim protection; 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"

"speaker": null,
"content": "THAT, although Section 37 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act, 2018 addresses certain aspects related to sextortion, there remains a critical need to comprehensively, address these issues within the broader legal context; THAT, sextortion disproportionately affects vulnerable women and girls due to poverty, lack of education, political disenfranchisement and various forms of disability, although men and boys are also susceptible; THAT, the unchecked prevalence of sextortion not only inflicts immediate harm upon individuals but also undermines efforts to empower women and ensure their full and equal participation in society, thus impending sustainable development; THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made, are not pending before any court of law or other constitutional or legal body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee: 1. Propose amendments to the Penal Code, Sexual Offences Act, and other relevant criminal laws to explicitly define sextortion as an offence, make clear provisions on penalties, support for victims and for connected purposes; and 2. Take any other measures necessary and appropriate in the circumstances of this Petition to address the menace of sextortion to protect the rights and dignity of all citizens. And your Petitioners will ever pray."
