The latest polygamy appeal to rich Kikuyu men by Kiambu women representative has divided Kenyans on social media.The former radio presenter has asked rich men from Central Kenya to marry more than one wife so as to increase the region's population.Gathoni Wamuchomba added that the marriages will also reduce cases of infidelity and of children born out of wedlock.
"Let all able men to marry more than one wife and bring up children...go ahead and marry even five wives," she said.
Kenyans from all walks of life to different social media to express their opinion on the appeal by Wamuchomba.Some blasted her for being “ridiculous”, while others agreed with her.Here are mixed reactions from KOT:
@MaureenAlbert How do you feel like that ladies? Just acommodity for a rich man!
@mmtaisi you're heading is very misleading
@Tracythendu My question is does this woman know thatits not about the money???
@FrednaumEveryday the country goes down the drain.It’s so difficult to elect leaders in Kenya. Iam resigned to the fact that we will neverhave good leaders in Kenya.
@gihdave It's not abt been Rich?"
@Abura Kwani iko nn".... 5 kikuyu ladies with onehusband..... Who dares to try that 😂😂
@HonAbdik I agree with Hon Gathoni Wamuchomba,Kiambu County MP. Her suggestion ispractical and will solve many problems in oursociety today. We should not run away frompolygamy only to cheat and father manychildren out there irresponsibly. HekoMuheshimiwa.
@shimungaislim If I had a husband then I think I will want to givedeep thought to what Gathoni Wamuchomba said....
@brianbwana What shame Lynda. The fact that you don'tlike her for advocating for polygamy or thefact that Kikuyu men are not marrying andhaving children.
@Kizirii But Eseli Simiyu is right, Wamuchombaexplicitly said "Kikuyu men", so what wouldthe rest of us know?
