CHARITY NGILU'S MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT RUTO AHEAD OF CABINET APPOINTMENT

Charity Ngilu said she would wait to see if Ruto appoints women to constitute half of his cabinet.
Former Kitui governor Charity Ngilu is hopeful President William Ruto will make good on his promise of giving 50 percent of cabinet slots to women.

The president who is out of the country on official duty is expected to embark on naming his cabinet once he lands back.

Ngilu through a tweet exuded optimism that the head of state would not renege on the pledge made to women prior to the August 9 presidential vote.
"He (Ruto) promised 50%. 11 women in cabinet, that we can support. Let’s wait and see," said Ngilu.
Her tweet attracted mixed reactions with a majority arguing she was angling for a post in Ruto's cabinet.

Ngilu is a known chief critic of the president and prior to the elections, she dismissed the chances of Ruto winning the vote.
The president is on record ruling out appointing members of the opposition into his government.
Ruto, prior to the elections, vowed to see to it that women are incorporated in positions of power.

Speaking at the Nyayo National Stadium on June 10 while unveiling the Kenya KWanza Women Charter, he said he would ensure women are included in his administration should he win.
He promised to implement the third gender rule in his administration in the first three months adding that 50 percent of his Cabinet would be constituted by women.

“I commit to actualise the two-thirds gender rule and to put in place mechanisms within the first three months of the Kenya Kwanza gov’t; we shall allocate 50 percent of the cabinet to women,” said Ruto.

DEAR MEN, THESE ARE THE PLACES NEVER TO TOUCH IN A WOMAN

You, as a man, have an obligation to familiarize yourself with the possibility that a woman may not always respond favorably to your touch. You must establish limits for yourself and gain the knowledge necessary to choose how, when, and with whom you will connect in public or elsewhere. Other places may just give you a smack as punishment because they are so painful to grip. You should control your hand while you are in public and be conscious of the nature of your relationship with the woman. These factors will help you decide what approach to use with a woman. Guys touching women's faces offends them. Just think about spending hours in front of your mirrors putting makeup, just to have someone else touch it as soon as they appear. The face is the most delicate part of a woman's body to touch. As a male, you had better understand how to protect your face in public as soon as possible. Never, ever put your hands on a woman's face. Never touch the stomach of a woman. Ever. A...
