MADAM PRESIDENT

A few women have tried to win the coveted presidency, quite dangerous per Kenyan standards. Women be encouraged to wipe off the make up, tie back the wigs and put on comfortable shoes. The aggressive ones have been called bossy a name that is today being debated as inappropriate. Research shows that Women and youth carry most weight as voters. Fact is these women and youth are not willing to be governed by a ‘weaker gender’ Am not sexist but I wonder how would everything be if a lady was managing things. Ladies are very organized, committed and serious when it comes to work. They grow up knowing to take caution and have direction with everything they do.

No doubt we have seen women carry loads heavier than their bodies. They keep in a lot of secrets, complaints and pains. When challenges knock they don’t hide in their skirts and can totally take explosions. Thing is women are judged by their weakness of coming out too strong. True sometimes they are moody, emotional or gullible .Stand up clean up the streets and take out the stink bombs. You have the voice to roar louder. People never give women credit where it’s due. They are loving, forgiving, loyal and stick by you, know matter what. Life being a game of inches they have chosen battles and friends wisely. They have a big picture out of a small budget. Giving has always been in their to-do list, you agree she gave birth to you, gave you most basic needs and good years of your youth. Bless her, honor her and give her the fruits of her hands. Support her now when she needs to be rewarded and on the receiving end. Share her footsteps and embrace their efforts to create a worthy household. Even when things seem blink she will fear God and give him glory.  Blasphemy and shortcuts are not in her conduct. Courage and sobriety are some of her virtues. Style, creativity and intuition are her best traits.

Let the women inherit the throne of leadership officially. Many nights they half slept to nurse her infant cubs. During the day they broke sweat to search for pastures. All their life they never disappoint by giving up their dreams, keeping away from fun to support others. Going out of their time to sacrifice their body and soul to make sure all is well. I admire they put their pride aside; get their hands dirty to make ends meet. History writers mention that without the help of spies World War 2 and Mau Mau would not have passed. These spies were women who would not raise suspicion. Unfortunately they retired home to cater for their men.  Skilled with multi tasking they manage to do house chores and report to the office. The are fast learners too.  Enough shadow participation. Let us not weigh their ability by the size of their chests. Stop persecuting them for loosing charms or beauty. Give them the opportunity to bring balance and sanity in the system. And let her own works praise her in the gates.
