Opposition politician Boni Khalwale has lifted the lid on female legislators whom, he claims have taken to consuming shisha in the comfort of their five-star hotel rooms.
The veteran politician, made this claim while reacting to the government’s move to outlaw the consumption of the highly toxic tobacco substance on Thursday.
Khalwale however stopped short of naming the lawmaker in question.
A fierce government critic in recent times, Khalwale, who also is a medical practitioner, incidentally also took time to laud the government for arriving at this decision.

Shisha smoking in Kenya could soon be outlawed
The former Ikolomani MP and Kakamega Senator made this announcement on his official Twitter page, describing the development as ‘good riddance’.
Shisha consumption was fast becoming an addictive habit especially among the youth at entertainment spots.
That, however, was until Thursday, when Health CS made it clear that the substance, which is commonly consumed using a hooker pipe, was now banned.
“We will definitely do that. Currently we are discussing with the Attorney General on developing the legislation,” the CS said.
The ban on Shisha in Kenya follows similar bans in Uganda and Rwanda, and comes after intense lobbying from the Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance.
