Deputy President William Ruto today condemned the recent action where a woman was stripped in public at Embakasi, Nairobi saying it was barbaric.
Noting is was against the woman’s rights, Ruto noted that she had the right to dress the way she deemed fit and those who undressed her in public must face the full force of the law.
Speaking at Chwele Girls High school in Bungoma County, Ruto asked Kenyans to respect the rights of women, children and other vulnerable members of the society and avoid taking the law into their own hands whenever their sensibilities have been offended.
The DP at the same time decried increased cases of pregnancies among school girls in Bungoma County saying it was a major drawback to the education of the girl child in the area.
He said: “ Those who impregnate school girls and those who strip women belong to the same group of people and must be dealt with according to the law. I ask chiefs and their assistants to take action on such sex pests to keep them away from the society.”
