Members of Kenya's Parliament, led by Millie Odhiambo, have voiced strong reactions to a scandal surrounding Equatorial Guinean official Baltasar Ebang Engonga, following the release of explicit videos reportedly involving him with over 400 women.
Engonga, previously head of Equatorial Guinea's National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), has been suspended amidst the fallout.
In a parliamentary session, Odhiambo addressed the scandal, questioning the implications of such behavior.
"Honorable members, I would like to make some comments about the case from Equatorial Guinea of a man [Baltasar Engonga] who has been with over 400 women," she stated. "Is he encouraging such bad behavior in this country? We cannot allow such bad behavior because it is discriminatory against women. It has shown that women can also do exactly the same thing."
