| The role of men in advancing women’s political rights
 Wilfred Ongeri, Technician, Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC)
Women should be given opportunity to excel. They should be given at least 50% as the president has directed. The benefit in this is that there will be opportunity for women to work hand in hand with men; the advantage in this arrangement is that it lifts the social fabric of families, and you know this does also contribute towards lifting our economic level.
Women seem not keen to provide a woman president at the moment, I hope that in future they seriously contemplate fronting a woman at the presidential contest and we will definitely support them.
I have interacted with numerous women and I also have the feeling that women especially in offices tend to struggle to outdo each other and in turn this works against their collective bargain. If women stood firmly behind each other, theirs would be a force to reckon, and even men would be afraid of them, don’t forget, they have the numbers. |
