Taita Taveta Women Rep Accuses Male Colleague Of Sexual Harassment During Tour To Japan

What has come of our male legislators in the August House is pathetic, to say the least. The male MPs are embroiled in controversies related to sexual assault and rape which have already thrown the respected arm of government into disrepute.

It was just yesterday that Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti was accused of inviting a former journalist to his office in Westlands with a business deal at hand only to turn on the lady and beat her up, compel her to a forceful HIV test and thereafter rape her.

The accusations have left the republic raging in anger and dismay over the beastly act, with many calling for speedy investigation into the ordeal.

And before the dust settles on the same, Taita Taveta County Women Representatitive Joyce Lay has accused her colleague in parliament for sexually harassing her while they accompanied the president to Tokyo Japan for a tour.

Turbo MP Elisha Busienei

The married MP is accusing Turbo MP Elisha Busienei of calling her useless when Lay ignored her in Japan as he made advances towards her.

Lay says that Busienei blocked her on the door as she headed for her hotel room and when she questioned it the male legislator called her useless.

Lay then reported the matter to the leader of the delegation to Japan and shared her ordeal on a whatsapp page that the Defence Committee members regularly use.

The female MP appeared on NTV last evening and shed light on the matter, revealing her ordeal and demanded that Mr, Busienei comes out and apologizes publicly.
