The middle aged woman who is currently a member of the Siaya County Assembly denied ‘accidentally’ posting her nude photos in a WhatsApp group and now blames politics for her predicament.
Rosemary Ogutu, the Ford Kenya nominated MCA recently shocked the ‘Siaya County Forum’ WhatsApp group, where she is the administrator, by posting pictures of herself in a ‘birthday suit.’
The group consists of politicians, opinion leaders and the public and is mostly used to dissect county politics. Rosemary who has declared her interest in running for the Alego-Usonga parliamentary seat during the 2017 General Elections said she suspected that the move may have angered her opponents who are now focused on bringing her down.
The photos which went viral on social media showed the MCA cuddling her breasts and smiling.
The MCA held a press conference in Siaya and defended herself saying ‘the female gender’ was under attack since her political opponents were behind the scheme to bring her downusing the pictures because she had made major political steps in readiness for the 2017 general election.
Rosemary now claims that her ‘tech-savvy’ friend has hinted to her that her phone was hacked and her line used to post the photos in the group, even as she had her phone in her hand.
“I want to say these pictures are seemingly photoshoped and are directed at character assassination, but I want to believe that my political opponents are behind it. I want to say the direction these people have taken with my private life will not deter me from the journey I have taken in Alego Usonga,” said Rosemary who said she reported the matter at the Siaya Police Station as the incident has brought embarrassment to her family.
“I am sorry for my family, my supporters, Siaya County Assembly and my party. We are in a political season and if this is what is going to happen to the women of Kenya and Siaya County then I stand to condemn it. When it comes to the private life of a woman, we are always weak emotionally,” (sic) said Rosemary.
According to the County Assembly legislator, she had attended her party’s National Delegates Convention (NDC) at Bomas, where she had been taking photos of the proceedings and updating members of the said group.
“I can remember the last picture I took and updated was when Siaya Senator James Orengo was addressing the delegates,” she said, adding that shortly after posting that picture, a friend called her, inquiring if she was aware of what was happening in the WhatsApp group. Rosemary quickly checked the group, only to be greeted with her ‘naked’ image, posted by her own cell phone number.
She said before she could comment on the matter, she was removed from the group by an unknown member, and another person had taken over as the group administrator.
“I called another friend who is a teacher, who was also an admin in the group to ask her to delete the group but she was also removed,” she said adding that at no time did she hand over her cell phone to someone else.
