Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris on Wednesday entertained the crowd during a fund bursary issuance ceremony at Calvary Church Komarock while sharing why men should help their women in house chores.
Passaris narrated how she met a Kenyan man who made awesome chapatis but begged her not to tell anyone as his community doesn’t approve the idea of men cooking.
“Juzi nilikuwa kwa Mnandi mmoja huko ulaya, anapika chapati hata kuniliko. Nikamwambia wewe ukikuja Nairobi utakuja kunipikia ama nikikuje Eldoret. Akaniambia we hata usiende kusema ati mimi napika chapati mi ni Mnandi na hatuingii jikoni tupike chapati hata kama bibi ni mgojwa tunamrudisha kwa mamake akipona arudi,” she said.
Joint effort
The Woman Representative went on to say that cost of leaving in Kenya has skyrocketed therefore couples need to work together in order to build a family.
“Nimeona wanawake wanateseka sana wakati mwanaume anaaga. Mwanaume akona kampuni ya construction na bibi hata hajui kuweka saini kwa hio account. Hata hajui account iko wapi hata hajui contract bwanake anafanya, halafu family inakuja inasukuma mama vibaya,” she said.

“Hata sisi tunavaa longi na overall, hata tunakuwa kwa mjengo na hio ndege ya Kenya Airways inaenda America inapelekwa na mwanamke, kwani hakukuwa na mwanaume pilot? Lakini tumeona kweli wamama pia wanaweza hio kazi,” she said.
