Can Kenya bring more women into politics?
Less than a quarter of MPs in Kenya are women. Can that change in August鈥檚 election?
A video of this episode, recorded for Africa Podcast Day, is available on the Africa Daily page of the 大象传媒 website.
In August this year Kenyans will go to the polls in a general election.
The vote will decide who is the next president and who will form the next government.
But people will also be looking at how many women are elected.
Kenya鈥檚 2010 constitution states that at a third of public offices should be held by women.
But only 25% of MPs are currently female.
A number that is far behind some of Kenya鈥檚 neighbours.
So, why aren鈥檛 there more women in Kenyan politics? And what can be done to change this?
