But this is not new in Kenyan politics, you know, treating female politicians like chattels to be tossed around like pieces of meat. We made a national ridicule when a female MP once accused a male MP of sexually harassing her when all we could remember from the story was the phrase “Kalenjin propeller”. As we judge her male counterparts based on their policies and agendas, we judge female politicians based on their bedroom affairs. But I think it is time we give female politicians a break. A little bird tells me that a certain TV show is no more, thanks to some horrible remarks against a female politician made on that TV show.
