The Commission expresses deep concern over remarks made by Senator Karen Nyamu directed at a young female student participating in the School Voluntary Service Scheme during Senate proceedings. The Commission strongly condemns any conduct, statements, or actions that undermine the dignity, psychological well-being, safety, and best interests of children within public institutions and leadership spaces. @Senate_KE Children are entitled to dignity, protection, and respect at all times as guaranteed under Article 53 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the Children Act, 2022, and international human rights instruments ratified by Kenya. Public institutions, particularly constitutional institutions such as Parliament, have a heightened obligation to uphold these protections and demonstrate leadership grounded in integrity, professionalism, equality, and non-discrimination. The Commission notes that the remarks made by Senator Karen Nyamu have generated widespread public concern and reignited important national conversations around child safeguarding, ethical leadership, gender-sensitive communication, and accountability in public office. Language used by leaders carries institutional authority and influence. Remarks that expose children to humiliation, embarrassment, objectification, ridicule, or psychological harm are inconsistent with the national values and principles of governance enshrined under Article 10 of the Constitution. The Commission emphasizes that the dignity and best interests of the child must remain paramount in every matter affecting children. Psychological safety is an essential component of child protection. Public discourse, particularly from state officers and public leaders, must never normalise inappropriate innuendo, gendered humiliation, or conduct that diminishes the dignity of girls and young women. While the Commission acknowledges the apology issued on the floor of the @Senate_KE it reiterates that safeguarding children requires more than procedural compliance. Public institutions must strengthen accountability measures, reinforce ethical leadership standards, and cultivate institutional cultures that promote respectful engagement with children and youth. The Commission further urges all leaders to exercise responsibility, professionalism, and respect in public communication, recognizing that their words shape societal attitudes and institutional culture. @KTNNewsKE @Eastleighvoice @KBCChannel1 @StandardKenya @KEWOPA
