Laikipia Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru has yet again courted controversy with her advocacy for single women to become second wives.
Waruguru argues that such a move will go a long way in bringing down the number of single women in the country.
Speaking on KTN’s Morning Express on Thursday, Waruguru reminded women that a man is only her husband when in the house but when he leaves, he ceases being yours.
“Somebody else’s husband is their husband within the confines of their homes. The moment you left your home, Mike Gitonga, you’re here as a servant who is serving KTN. You’re here because you’re serving Kenyans,” she said.
“Mzee ni wako kwa boma, akishatoka, you take care of yourself. And you choose what you want. And the constitution allows even president Uhuru Kenyatta and assented to the Marriage Bill (allowing polygamy),” she added.
Therefore, she argued all single women to look for husbands at all costs. She insisted that there is no need of raising children as single mothers, especially for the boy child. Every kid, noted the MP, needs a father, uncles, and mentors.
The Laikipia legislator is married as a second wife and she is proud of it.
This was revealed when she was barred from accessing the services of a Kericho hotel where couples are required to produce marriage certificates before being allowed in.
