"Providing women and girls with equal access to education, work and healthcare will end gender discrimination," noted the DP in part of his tweet.

This, however, elicited mixed reactions from Twitter users, with some faulting the 'over-focus' on the girls and women issues at the expense of the boychild.

Majority of Kenyans on Twitter, however, hailed the DP for his initiative in helping increase number of women representation.

Some even took the opportunity to express themselves and ask for help.
