The international media reacted swiftly to the physical assault on Wajir County Woman Rep Fatuma Gedi by Wajir East MP Rashid Kassim who is police custody.
Leading the reportage was America's Cable News Network (CNN) which reported on a video circulating on social media in which the Woman Rep gave her story.
"In a video circulating on social media, MP Fatuma Gedi said she was walking out of the Parliament in Nairobi Thursday morning, when she met Kassim, who she says confronted her over why she did not allocate money to his constituency.
"Gedi said after explaining her position, she was told she was "stupid" and was struck several times in the mouth and jaw," CNN reported in part.
The United Kingdom's 'The Independent' also reported the assault, focusing on the arrest of the MP who allegedly assaulted Fatuma Gedi.
"A Kenyan MP has been arrested after a female colleague accused him of slapping her for not giving money to his constituency.Rashid Kassim allegedly assaulted Fatuma Gedi, who sits on the budget committee, in the parliament car park in Nairobi on Thursday," the Independent wrote.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reportage focused on the arrest of Mr Kassim and the walk-out of women from Parliament in protest.
"Rashid Kassim is accused of slapping Fatuma Gedi, who sits on the budget committee, in the capital Nairobi. A photo of Ms Gedi crying with blood in her mouth after the alleged assault has been shared widely on Twitter. Female MPs subsequently walked out of parliament in protest after their male colleagues mocked them, " the BBC wrote.
