Though confessing that she was originally unconvinced about the call for a seven-day sex fast from the G10 women's coalition, Wandia Njoya discusses her surprise at the chauvinistic and hyper-masculined reaction to the fast from much of Kenyan society.

Then, the white man was right all along in seeing an oversexed savage in the blackman?what does a disputed election in 2007 have to do with raping women who were themselves victims of the messed up vote?The writer of this aricle is right-women got the attention they wanted and drove the point home that there is a serious social/political crisis in kenya which cannot be solved by their oversexed males!
Sex and Kenyans..Will grab anybody's attention. However, I do remember some of the major agitators were women in the ODM Kraal who are still playing major role on the demise of reason among the Kenyan so called rulers. What we may admit is that this is an attempt to get attention and nothing more. If I remember correctly, Kibaki has a substitute player for his wife and I am pretty sure Raila must have his ( power and women go together like sukuma wiki na ugali). Very unlikely that all the men have others for substitute work. Having being married for 17 yrs, sex players a very secondary part to ny life- My wife is first my best friend, my counsellor, my partner in raising our kids etc. Sex is a very minor role in our life and treated more as a physiological need rather than a prize. So, all these wailing and shouting is hogwash and not so much necessary.
