She recently challenged Kenyans to elect a woman as president in the next polls. Our problem is that we have never had a woman president or vice-president since an independent Kenya was conceived. I mean, women serve as heads of state or government in only 21 countries, and 119 countries have never had a woman leader. Because we are not early adopters when it comes to equality of the genders, it could be more than a century before a woman is sworn in as president or deputy. That we can’t trigger a shift in mindset so that people begin to see that a woman presidency is a viable alternative.
