Makueni County Government has suspended its Executive Committee Member (ECM) for Trade, Marketing, Industry, Culture, and Tourism, Dr. Sonia Nzilani, for 45 days after her controversial remarks suggesting that menstruating women attract crocodiles.
This decision was made by Makueni Governor, Mutula Kilonzo Jr., following a wave of public outrage in response to the statements made by the ECM.
The controversy emerged during the funeral of a 17-year-old girl who tragically lost her life in a crocodile attack while fetching water from the Athi River in Kithaayoni, Kathonzweni subcounty.
