This is a president talking about a rape of a foreign national. Ladies please use Uber. At night its not expensive. From Lang’ata to CBD at night on a boda upepo and physical danger kidogo rape. Just take Uber and make sure that the doors are not having lock issues sit at the back, get someone to track your journey. If women are getting killed in 1st world country by taxi operators what can you expect from mtu wa boda at night? First of all using a motorcycle is dangerous you can die, break bones, your skull etc alafu add the kind of characters in that sector. Me I’m a mature woman, with my own transportation but I avoid being out at night because I understand how vulnerable we are as women even roads I pick which to use after darkness. You are carrying a very precious commodity between your feet which men want , you can not just be out all hours of the night, alone on motorcycles at night with a stranger who you have never met . Avoid putting yourself in a vulnerable position with these men. You are a beast of prey. Avoid depending on good will and benevolence of men even men you have known forever will rape you. Don’t joke with men’s thirst for vagina. Enough times I’ve declined my boss demands to stay late and told him firmly that I’m a woman and darkness doesn’t favour me. Inabidi aelewe. I have to take care of my personal security. Anyway pole to the lady. Men can be cruel when you don’t look out for yourself.
Or lack of common sense. How do you come out of the club at 3, 4 am, and take a nduthi? I wouldn’t even do it as a man. Second, any foreigner is higher on the radar of any criminals’ intended act. This is anywhere in the world. You wouldn’t find me tanga tangaing in a slum in Lagos at 4 am by myself. 3rd, why couldn’t she just pay one of her friends to drop her off. A woman should in fact prearrange such things. You know your transport to the club and fro. And it’s wee hours, so you take the safest option. Imagine cops stoping a skimpily dressed woman on a bike at those hours. She probably would have been harassed just as bad. Or she should have stayed until morning, and taken a mat home.
She had probably done it before. I can’t understand how in the hell someone can take such risks. Btw cops are not even bad but what if they got into an accident. I don’t know but I am apprehensive driving around at 8pm, I can’t imagine getting on a boda at 3am.
