Respect women, they carry a burden for nine months whereas men only last one second – Ex-Kenyan Prime Minister, Raila Odinga
Former Kenyan Prime Minister, Raila Odinga has implored men to respect women because of the responsibility they shoulder as mothers.
Odinga, who was speaking during a meeting with Lower Eastern leaders at Chungwa House on Tuesday, urged Kenyans to avoid discriminating others due to their race, ethnicity, gender or disability.
The Orange Democratic Movement party leader opined that women should be accorded the respect that is commensurate with their contribution to the procreation process.
He said; “A woman is a human being like you, they have also been born like you. If your mother was not there you couldn’t have been born. There is no one in this world who was begotten by just a man.

In procreation, a man’s work only takes one second while women carry the burden for 9 months. They go through sickness during the pregnancy and later have to lactate the baby after delivery. We must therefore respect women”.
Odinga, who served as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013, further stated that for Kenya to play in the same league with developed nations, the society must allow women to take up opportunities in various fields. He advocated for the inclusion of women in the fields of leadership and business.
The politician added that if women are productive, the nation will be at par with countries that have allowed their women to work and contribute in building of their economies.
