Ladies in politics: Join the discussion with Observation, the SU president

One of the challenges faced by Women In Politics is their ability to meet up their marital obligations. Most of them later become divorcees or single parents after having two or three kids. The news trending in Kenya is that the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning, Anne Waiguru is dating the President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Recall that similar thing was said of Fmr. Petroleum Minister, Deziani Alison-Madueke and Fmr. President, Goodluck Jonathan. In situation like this, the husband and children (family) suffer.

MY TAKE: I have no issues against women participation in politics. I only have poser for them. How can your husband vouch for your fidelity when you are on state and party assignments with men at even the darkest hour of the night?

Please join the discussion....
