Kenyan women's rights activists have condemned an ODM MP who told parliament that women usually say "No" to sex, even if they mean "Yes".
During a debate on a new sex crimes law, Paddy Ahenda said Kenya women were too shy to openly say "Yes" and warned the law could prevent marriage.
Twelve of Kenya's 18 female MPs walked out in protest, saying Mr Ahenda and other MPs were "trivialising" rape.
Many Kenyans are alarmed by a huge rise in the incidence of sexual abuse.
"This is a nation that should be in shame because its leaders are laughing at offences committed against women and children," said Kenya National Commission on Human Rights official Catherine Mumma.]]>n May, 2005, NdungââŹâ˘u presented the motion of intention to bring the Sexual Offences Bill to Parliament.
