The National Speaker Justin Muturi is under more
fire following accusations from a section of women Mps of harassment at a time
he’s exposed to the wrath of Kenyans following a suggestion that Women rep
posts be scrapped.
Speaking in
Kisumu at different events Kisumu County Women Rep Rose Nyamunga said snatching
them the positions would a mount to declaring war against the female gender and
by extension girl child.
Nyamunga
noted that their presence in the parliament has created a positive impact on
the girl child as opposed to before when the girl child received less attention
from political leadership mostly dominated by male.
She cited an
example of Uwezo Fund and table banking which have been largely championed by
the women representatives to help women and youth groups in the counties.

‘’We have been
active in parliament and it’s very clear that we have introduced numerous bills
and motions that touch on the lives of women in the rural area’’ she added.
Mrs.
Nyamunga revealed that the Speaker has on several attempts thwarted their move
to contribute in the August house and would always demand that they bow down to
him in a King like manner before they are given a chance to talk.
