Maendeleo Ya Wanaume Organisation chair Nderitu Njoka appeared on TV last week talking about the tribulations of being a man in Kenya today. Njoka talked about the rising cases of husband battering and claimed that over one million men are assaulted by their wives every year. But most men being ‘men’ don’t report their tribulations. He also talked about frustrated men who drink themselves to the grave. Njoka also touched on the much talked about subject of boys performing poorly than girls because of the ‘over-emphasis’ on the girl child. Another ‘wanaume’ issue he said was of concern to his organisation was boys being forced to wear ‘colonial shorts’, which he lamented exposed them to stinging cold.
