In an interview, Dr Komenda said that most women with political ambition are suppressed either by their husbands or male contestants driven by male chauvinism, something which has affected leadership in Gusii region since independence.
“The absence of women in competitive politics in Gusii has a lot to do with the negative cultural beliefs that always classified women as lesser people in leadership. The factor continues even to this day because very few women control family finances while many do not have the economic muscle to venture into politics,” Dr Komenda said.
