With at least two MPs currently embroiled in accusations of rape and sexual impropriety, parliament once again finds itself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

To the millions of constituents represented in the August house, sex scandals are the last thing they expect from their waheshimiwas.

Below is a list of 10 legislators who have at one point or another been mentioned in either sex-related scandals or illicit affairs that made the news.
