Is Kenya ready for a Female President?
The long awaited reality show of Ms. President just kicked off. The apprentice is expected to bring with it a mixture of emotions ranging from excitement, joy, anxiety and tension. Kenyans will get a chance to cast their vote again but for a female “President” in a show born out of the need to groom women to be better Leaders.
Contestants from all over the Country will be battling it out for the grand prize, business support, networking opportunities, capacity building, and mentor-ship by both local and international players. The 26 episode television series is all about the empowerment of the women in our society and seeks to kick off conversation about the need for more Kenyan women leaders to take up and provide leadership in all sectors of the society including finding a lasting solution to terrorism and domestic violence against women. The show seeks to bring out the different strong characteristics with an aim of positioning them for Leadership roles.
Speaking at the event that was also graced by Chief Administrative Secretary – Public Service, Youth Affairs and Gender Hon. Rachael Shebesh and Hon. Millicent Odhiambo among others, Martha Karua Congratulates all the contestants and urges them to give the best shot going forward. She also encouraged those who did not get nominated to take this as the start of the journey to greater things.
A strong woman doesn't give up even though her heart may feel heavy. She courageously takes one more step then another and another. Strong women don’t give up, they remain strong so that our daughters will have a role model and our sons will know what to look for in a woman when they become men.

All the Machakos Legislators with the exception of the host MP Patrick Ma...

GOVERNOR KIRAITU MURUNGI RESPONDS MIGUNA MIGUNA. "H. E The Rt.Hon. Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga has been my friend since 1970. We are age mates and political comrades who both went to Parliament at the same time, in the same party called FORD-K. The Prime Minister met H.E Madam Ida Odinga, in March 1971 when Ida Odinga was a student of Bachelor of Education at the University of Nairobi, majoring in Geography. They dated for over one year, later on, engaged and wedded. The late Fidel Odinga was born in 1973, almost three years after both the Hon.Raila Odinga and Mama Ida had met, dated, got engaged and married. It's a desperate fallacy and a stupid lie, for Miguna Miguna who was only seven(7) years old when The Prime Minister and Mama Ida met, and merely ten (10) years old when the late Fidel Castro Macarius Odhiambo Odinga was born, to LIE to us that at the age of 7 years old, he had known who fathered who, let alone the Odingas. Miguna met the Odinga...
