MARRIED MEN SHOULD LEAVE THEIR WIVES TO DECIDE WHOM TO VOTE FOR IN AUGUST 2017 ELECTIONS

Some passengers were in a matatu and one of them commented that one presidential candidate was visiting their area that week and his banner had already been displayed. Then another one asked him if his choice of president was the same as that one of his wife. That is when a heated debate ensued in the matatu and everyone started participating. The man categorically stated that his choice of president must be the choice his wife will take. Many people were shocked that some men threaten their wives with divorce should they vote contrary to their choice of candidates. That matters were made worse by nomadic people who move around with their animals carrying with them their wives ID's and voters cards, causing very few people to register during this time of registration. Some men go to the extent of following their wives in polling stations in the pretext that their wives cannot read and write and that their wives are assisted voter, but in the real sense they want to see whom their wives are voting for. This year women have to be given a chance to vote for their preferred candidates without their husband’s interference. Let IEBC limit voters assisted people and those to be assisted will be assisted by IE B C officials to curb this vice. They will save many marriages, as one of the men vowed that if his wife voted contrary to his choice, she will go to back to whoever she has voted for. Let IEBC do a lot of Voter education in this crucial area such that, it is not a must for a woman to disclose whom she has voted for. Women should know their rights during crucial time.
