The African values and morals stipulate that one can incur a great curse by staring at a naked woman.
This we have all been taught right from the stage where you are able to use your senses.
Surprisingly, the act of publicly stripping women in Kenya has become a hobby for some people who find very silly excuses to execute this shameful act.
That a woman is scantily dressed is no reason to strip her clothes. In fact, no one has permission or any right to take someone else's dignity.
That you are in a campaign or electioneering mode is far much a worse excuse for stripping a woman. It's not the first time Kenya is holding elections and it won't be the last time. However much big an offense, it doesn’t warrant the animistic act.
Before you raise your hand to take off that dress, have in mind that it is someone’s daughter, wife or mother you are about to publicly disgrace. Always picture your mother, sister or daughter going through the same ordeal before you act.
Kenya is seen as one of the powerhouses in Africa with many countries having vested interests. But imagine the impact the single act of stripping a woman can cause in terms of pushing back private developers and governments who might want to transact business with us.
It is high time that the lawmakers scribble down some punitive structures for offenders of this kind.
Let the women’s dignity be upheld by respecting women and motherhood.
