Women Representatives in Kenya play a huge role in politics and governance of the country. As always, African women have fought to have a place at the table and gradually, they are being recognized.
While there is still a long way to go, we choose to celebrate women who are coming out to vote and be voted for. Among them are the women representatives of Kenya.
