Former permanent secretary, Alfayo Nyakundi, has urged women to be more creative and desist from entirely depending on their spouses for survival.
Speaking on Friday at Mwongori Secondary in Borabu constituency, Nyakundi said cases of Kisii women reducing themselves to house wives were eminent in the region and something need to be done to change the situation.
Nyakundi said there were a lot of opportunities to be explored by women to sustain themselves both economically and socially.
“Sometimes it hurts that women still depends on men for survival. You can not believe that they even ask for items worthy five shillings. This is absolutely abnormal,” notes Nyakundi.
“There are a lot of opportunities even at the village level. Women enterprise fund is here with us but nobody bothering with it. Time has come to grasp such opportunities,” said Nyakundi.
He noted that cases of women dropping out of their careers to be house wives had increased in the region.
“I have occasionally heard of men compelling their spouses to leave well-paying jobs such as medical doctors to be house wives,” said Nyakundi.
He urged women to stand up and fight for opportunities in all proffessionals like men do.
