The punitive measures,  she argues,  would curb cases of rape which are reportedly escalating in the country.

While visiting a rape victim at Ting'a on Thursday,  the Jubilee legislator vowed to rally for a bill to effect the punitive measures.

“We are tired hearing of rape cases in Nyamira County and the country.  Death by hanging will reduce these atrocities," she said. 

"Time has come to act and we shall not wait any longer," added the first term MP. 

Also,  Mrs Momanyi challenged relatives to victikms to report such cases to police for action.
