The role of men in advancing women’s political rights

Aloise Onguti, Security officer, G4S

Women can make better leaders indeed. The problem is that our culture and traditions are such that women will mostly not make decisions independently without the involvement of men. In a significant way, men have used this attribute to manipulate women.

Society has changed in great respects in that we even have women who are well learned, much learned than men. This means they are in position to compete favorably with their male counterparts, it also means that they well qualify to be in leadership positions just as men. Women are also not corrupt and that is so true.
