In reacting to a court ruling against her, former nominated senator Gloria Orwoba has maintained that no investigation has been conducted into Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye, despite her allegations of sexual harassment.
Speaking just hours after the High Court ordered her to pay Ksh10.5 million in damages to Nyegenye for defamation, Orwoba declared that she would continue to speak out about the harassment she suffered at the clerk's hands, and encourage others who had suffered the same in Parliament to do the same.
She had complained in a WhatsApp group about being denied trips for rejecting Nyegenye's sexual advances. "I have complained to the powers that be in the Senate, including the speaker and the official WhatsApp group, that because I said I am not going to participate in his advances, I am being removed from certain trips, certain legislative agendas, and my bills are being put at the back."

"Kenyans, ask for the travel report so that you can see how the billions of your Kenya Shillings are being spent in exchange for sexual favours and trips," she claimed.
