Hannah Wendot Cheptumo, the nominee for Cabinet Secretary, Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage, has said the rise in femicide cases is contributed by women pursuing relationships motivated by a desire for money.

Appearing before the Committee on Appointments on the vetting of Cabinet Secretaries' nominees on Monday, Wendot attributed the women killings to a lack of financial empowerment and education.
