Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo Mabona demanded that individuals who distribute explicit images of women without their consent face severe punishment. During a recent parliamentary session, Mabona called for the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to crack down on these offenders, stating that the consequences must be the strongest possible.
“I would champion its application for such perpetrators,” Mabona exclaimed, expressing her support for the death penalty. “Although I don’t support the death penalty, were I in favor of it,” she clarified, “I would champion its application for such perpetrators.” Mabona proposed life imprisonment and urged her fellow Parliament members to pass legislation that would impose harsher penalties on those suspected of these acts.

Mabona implored people to consider the far-reaching effects of distributing such images, particularly for the victims’ children. “This kind of exploitation is a crime against the person,” she stated. In solidarity, Nairobi Woman representative Esther Passaris took to Twitter to denounce the nonconsensual sharing of intimate pictures, emphasizing that such actions violate privacy and dignity. Passaris called it an attempt to “intimidate, shame, embarrass, and silence” individuals.

“This reprehensible act cannot be justified under any circumstances,” Passaris declared, noting that the shame extends to society as a whole. She explained that character assassination feeds on this behavior and urged society to take a firm stance and hold the responsible parties accountable.
The statements came after a video circulated on social media, allegedly featuring Interior Ministry CAS Millicent Omanga in a compromising position. While Omanga shared a Bible verse on her Twitter page, Mabona, and Passaris remain adamant in their call for justice for the victims of this heinous crime. As Passaris said, “We must stand together and say no to nonconsensual sharing of intimate photos and videos.”
