Footage of a tearful Fatima Gedi with a bleeding mouth went viral on social media.

The attack took place in the parliamentary carpark in Nairobi.

Rashid Kassim assaulted budgetary committee member Fatima Gedi, after confronting her about  funds not allocated to his constituency.

Woman MPs walked out of the chamber protesting that they were being mocked by male colleagues who said it was slapping day.

They say some male lawmakers said women needed to have better manners and to know how to treat men.

Kassim, who was taken into custody by police , has not commented on the incident.
