The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has condemned the sexual remarks made by Isiolo Governor, Abdi Guyo against Senator Fatuma Dullo.<\/p>\n
In their statement delivered by their chairperson, Leah Sankaire they expressed their displeasure on Guyo\u2019s verbal abuse which constituted sexual and gender- based violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch language is unacceptable, particularly from a state official of his stature and who has a constitutional mandate over a county with inhabitants from both genders,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She further acknowledged that Senator Dullo was a distinguished national leader who had earned her position through merit and support from the community and Kenyans at large.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is a respectable woman who has shown exemplary leadership and commitment to serving her constituents,\u201d Sankaire said.<\/p>\n
In addition, she said that any attempt to undermine her integrity and leadership through demeaning remarks was not only an affront towards the senator but to all women in leadership and to an extent, all Kenyan women.<\/p>\n
Moreover, she reiterated that KEWOPA would stand against any form of speech or action that would seem to demean women leaders.<\/p>\n
Sankaire further stated that KEWOPA demands immediate apology from the governor and that he publicly commit to refraining from making such derogatory statements.<\/p>\n
She called on leaders to join them in condemning such behavior and support the ongoing efforts to create a peaceful political environment for all.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether we can ensure our society upholds the dignity and respect of every individual, regardless of gender,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
