Can Kenya bring more women into politics?

Africa Daily - Podcast autorstwa BBC World Service

A video of this episode, recorded for Africa Podcast Day, is available on the Africa Daily page of the BBC website.In August this year Kenyans will go to the polls in a general election. The vote will decide who is the next president and who will form the next government. But people will also be looking at how many women are elected. Kenya’s 2010 constitution states that at a third of public offices should be held by women. But only 25% of MPs are currently female. A number that is far behind some of Kenya’s neighbours. So, why aren’t there more women in Kenyan politics? And what can be done to change this?Host: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja) Guests: Beverly Ochieng (@beverlyochieng) Nerima Wako Ojiwa (@nerimaw) Nereah Amondi Oketch (@amondinereah)#AfricaDaily
