Kenyan men have been branded all sorts of names. Stingy, mafisi, losers, good-for-nothing and wakora. If you make time to sit with a group of girls discussing their men, you’ll come to realise that most women feel frustrated. They will complain about how their men don’t buy them gifts. Not even a thong!
The last time some of them received gifts, especially the married ones, was when Kibaki was campaigning for the 2002 elections.
