Sabina Chege criticises women leaders gyrating their bodies during rallies

Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege has expressed displeasure with a section of female leaders who “gyrate their bodies” during public rallies as a way of entertaining supporters. Speaking to Citizen TV on Wednesday night during the JKL segment, Sabina noted that women leaders should focus more on selling their agenda other than showcasing their bodies. “Our women don’t do that. We know which side of women who do that. I would not recommend it, its uncouth. We are not there to show our bodies, we are there to show leaderships,” she opined. Speaking during the same interview, Uasin Gishu Woman Rep Gladys Shollei said she does not see any wrong with female leaders dancing during rallies, arguing that they come from different places and have different cultures. In her view, dancing is a form of cultural expressionm, therefore, Kenyans should no read too uch into what they see at rallies, especially the entertainment bits.

I don’t find it offensive if someone is dancing in a way that is culturally acceptable. “If you referring to the dancing of Senator Omanga when she came to Uasin Gishu county, that is a dance from the community she comes from… The crowd was excited, it is a way I’d be excited to see a dance from a community that’s not ours,” Shollei said. The issue off women leaders dancing suggestively at political rallies became a subject of discussion online after a video of Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga dancing at the UDA Party NDC went viral. In the viral video, DP Ruto’s ally and trusted confidante Farouk Kibet is seen directing Omanga to dance for the crowd, after which she is joined on stage by Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa.
