Nairobi County Woman Rep Esther Passaris has taken on Director Criminal Investigations Mohammed Amin over unaddressed femicide cases.
Speaking during issuance of NGAAF bursary, the Lawmaker was categorical that the DCI has failed to ensure such criminal cases against women and girls in the country are addressed.
She noted that there are facts and evidence about women who have been sexually assaulted and some murdered, but unfortunately no action has been taken against the culprits and perpetrators of such heinous acts.
The Lawmaker stated that there is no excuse for sexual assault, rape, or sexual harassment.
She urgef the DCI to up his game and ensure such cases are handled with the seriousness they deserve so that justice can be served.
Passaris also used the moment to sensitize the male gender that it is not about the clothes, nor how women walk or age and political affiliation that should lead to such cases.
“Not my clothes. Not the way I walk.
Not my age. And certainly not my political affiliation. I am calling on Directorate of Criminal Investigations – DCI once again to give the public an update on the many femicide cases that remain unsolved. Saying you are “too busy” because there are many cases is not an explanation. It is a failure.
This is your job. Do it. Now,” she said.
