I join other like-minded kenya in agreeing that Kibaki and Raila have really tried to include more women in the affairs in this nation. However, I also know that Kenyan women can do much better than this owing to the successful running of the responsibilies and ministries headed by the like of Hon Charity Ngilu and not to mention the leadership of Hon Martha Karua. I believe these women were not born alone in Kenya meaning that there more Ngilus and Karuas out in the cold of Kenyan politics who can do likewise or even better. I am challenging our women political leaders to mentor more women leaders for great results in the future. More mentorship will mean more women will to fight the traditions of our male dominated political arena thus creating a better environment for national development.
