A female MCA aspirant in Mwingi Central ward has decried harassment during her campaigns and intimidation by her male counterparts. This is as she called for the provision of security to all the female political aspirants in the country to ensure that they can compete fairly with their male counterparts.
Ms Dorcas Mbeke Musyoka who was speaking while issuing geometrical sets to all class KCPE pupils at Kasina Primary school in Mwingi town in preparation for KCPE exams which are set to kick off on Monday said that as a female aspirant she has faced several challenges while campaigning including harassment and intimidation.
However, the MCA aspirant urged all female aspirants to stay put to their course, saying that male political aspirants were uncomfortable with female aspirants due to their “unmatched ability to deliver on their mandate”.
Mbeke said that she would be issuing exam materials like geometrical sets to all class eight candidates in Mwingi central ward on yearly basis, whether she is elected or not.
