Punish these male misfits out to humiliate women

My heart almost stopped. I chanced upon two video clips on social media early in the week. One was a heartrending scenario of a mentally deranged Ugandan house help molesting a toddler. The other was graphic image of male villains sexually assaulting a girl on a Githurai route matatu in Nairobi.

I am still seething with anger. Angry that in the 21st Century, despite our claim to democratisation and modernisation, some of our men behave worse than beasts of the wild. Angry that our women are systematically attacked, denigrated and humiliated in public as the nation watches gleefully.
