Politicians and even colleagues approached me for intimacy – Janet Mbugua opens up

It is not news that Kenyan politicians have an eye for most news anchors especially, the young, sassy and charming ones.

It´s not once, or twice, or even thrice, that such news have made headlines in our local media.

Whether dating them for prospective marriage or just sexual favors in exchange for material wealth, it´s been there.

However, what irks most is fact that these politicians do it regardless of the subject´s marital status.

Some might be married, others already have kids and have started a beautiful, blossoming family, but that has been given a deaf ear by these very politicians.

Renowned Kenyan media personality, Janet Mbugua, opened up on her own experience.

Yes, she was married and having kids already but politicians kept approaching her, from all sides of the divide.

Speaking on Radio Maisha, the mother of two expressed:

I don´t want to sit here and pass judgement but I do believe this is wrong especially if it is somebody who has a family. On principle, it´s wrong but at the same time, it doesn´t mean that that woman should be abused, or harassed, or bullied.

However, the multi-talented personality went ahead to clarify that having made mistakes does not mean these women should be treated with contempt, rather advised accordingly.

It´s  human rights violation. She needs to be educated better kwamba that the choices that she makes will come back and hurt her because the day you are older there will be a youngin and you will be kicked out. You can lose your credibility or even your job, you lose everything.

Sharing her own experience, Mrs Ndichu opened up:

How many politicians, how many colleagues in the media have approached me? So many. Did I say yes? No. Even when I am married and gotten kids. I just used to say point-black that, ¨I have a family. Don´t you think what you are asking is wrong?¨.

Because honestly, actions have consequences.

It´s a choice. I just said that even if they can give me all the money in the world, what will happen to me? There is no credibility I´ll have.
