The matter she is raising is of national interest and crosscuts in almost all spheres of life and institutions. As the Public Petitions Committee looks at the matter, I plead that they look at it from both sides. Let us not look at it as if it is only the female side which is suffering. Let us see fairness in this matter."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate the young people and leaders of universities who are in the Speaker’s Gallery. They are young people who pray for our country every morning. They have more importantly visited us to see what we are doing. You are the leaders of today, leading our universities with all the challenges. I pray to God that he will guide you as you continue leading the other students to understand the challenges we are facing, and how we can deal with them. One of them is what our leader of Nairobi has brought in, sextortion? In a simple way, it is the favours that men ask when they are employing our girls, for example, in tea farms in Kericho, flower farms in Naivasha or in Nairobi. This happens in tea farms in Kericho, flower farms in Naivasha or in Nairobi where they wake up very early in the morning.

"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."

"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."
