Women in leadership roles are more vulnerable to attacks. Citing an example of embattled Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi, the CS said due process was not followed in ‘ejecting’ her. Speaking during the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) 6th annual Women in Leadership conference at the Sarova Whitesands in Mombasa, she said women in leadership roles are more vulnerable to attacks. She said women are not against Ms Elachi and hoped the court will deal with the matter and justice served. Prof Kobia said Kenya is ready for women leadership while warning against discrimination.
