Irate Kenyan women condemned Aden Duale for inciting the speaker to kick out Kwale Woman Representative Zulekha Hassan who showed up in parliament with her baby.
She entered the parliament chamber with her baby and when Duale saw her he immediately cut his submission claiming that it Zulekha’s act was gross misconduct.
Since Zulekha was not willing to step out, she was forcefully kicked out by Sergeant-at-arms bringing the proceedings at the house to a halt.
Efforts of some MPs to defend her failed. MP Alego Usoga and MP Samuel Atandi were also kicked out alongside Zulekha for defending her.
Angry women and mothers took to social media condemning the heinous act of throwing a mother out of the parliament for coming in with her baby.
Reactions
Can someone please explain what is Gross & shameful about a Mother breastfeeding her child??! Duale is out of line & should be made to apologize for his offensive remarks towards Ms. Zulekha.
Min Yawuoyi; That’s being inconsiderate and insensitive because maybe the child wasn’t feeling well and the mother wanted to monitor the behavior
Betty Francis; Sioni shida yeyote mimi and what if the dm ran away were you expecting her to throw the baby away ama, parliament inafaa iwe n baby creche room!
B4 Neno; Duale anasumbuliwa na Dini, he has been taught that women are nothing in his crap religion. that’s why he hates Esther Passaris… its funny how he could see Zulekha while speaking. compound eyes? Cursed man
Allan; Duale must apologize, if he is not talking about Esther Passair’s bag, he must look for something to talk about! How did he even notice Zulekha come in if he was giving his submission? This man Akona umama mwingi sana.
