Kenya can be great with more women at the high table

I recently officiated the annual graduation ceremony of Kitui Institute of Development Studies. The excitement of the graduating students was palpable as they sat glorious in their flowing graduation gowns. My own thrill hit the roof when it turned out that the top five graduands were female. These young women had approached their studies with utter determination and were now reaping the rewards of hard work. But as I congratulated them, it occurred to me that even if they find jobs, their academic achievements might still not shield them from exploitation.
