Men should not pay taxes for their wives

A few days ago, the world celebrated the International Women’s Day which availed a chance to review the progress made towards realizing gender equality. The theme this year was “pledge for parity” which was a call to all humanity to strive to bridge the gap between men and women.

Kenya as a country has made great strides in the line of narrowing the economic, political and social divide between the two genders. The Kenyan constitution of 2010 contains well elaborate provisions that promote gender parity. It provides for at least a third of either gender must be represented in positions of leadership.
