Martha Wangari Karua is the incoming Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya.
And upon this declaration of confidence, let's talk about the kind of DP she will become. Unfortunately, we are compelled to only make a comparison between her and the current holder of the office, William Ruto. Let's begin with the differences.
First, one is a man and the other a woman. Instructively, we live in a patriarchal society that has, for long, associated leadership with the male gender.

But on account of many years of struggle by women that resulted in various policy changes, including affirmative action, women are increasingly occupying space in public leadership. As such, the rise of Karua to position of DP, will be an earth shaking and ground breaking phenomenon.
