Mbita Member of Parliament, Millie Odhiambo, shared some of the unexpected text messages she received after MPs’ phone numbers were made public. During a Parliamentary debate on the Finance Bill, Odhiambo revealed that while many constituents were urging her to oppose the bill, one young man had a different kind of proposal.
“When other people are writing and telling me ‘Make sure the Finance Bill does not pass,’ a young man instead is writing to me that I am young but I have inches, Madam Speaker,’’ Odhiambo recounted.
However, Odhiambo clarified that she is no longer interested in such propositions. “I have retired in that other sector. Telling me about inches, what do I do with inches?” she posed.
She also emphasized the need to protect young men from older women who prey on them by promising financial incentives.
