Many still remember the woman who hired people she thought were hit men to kill her husband of 16 years only for them to turn out to be policemen. She ended up behind bars for her heinous plot.
But as she was cooling her heels at Langata Women’s Prison, her husband felt pity on her and went before a judge to forgive and forget. The couple is now reportedly enjoying their honeymoon.
I have a sneaky feeling that had it been a Kenyan woman who had been wronged, she, together with all the violent women’s organisations around, would have asked the judge to give her husband a life sentence and disappeared into another man’s arms faster than one can say ‘Sonko’. Our women are heartless; just ask the guy who was slashed across his face like sukuma wiki.
But back to the subject at hand: Kenyan men are the most forgiving lot in the world, which is why we manage to put up with our women. Nothing proves my point that Kenyan men are heaven sent more than the hundreds of wazungu women who are divorcing their high-flying husbands and flocking to Mombasa to get married to poor Kenyan men. Mark you, some of these women end up in remote villages where they happily get hitched to semiliterate fishermen, acrobats and touts — the same men our women call ‘useless’.
Gosh, we put up with so much for the sake of peace at home — from the old T-shirts and a torn stocking on the head and thick woolen socks that our women wear to bed to being put down every day.
Believe me, you can travel from Kisumu to Mombasa and you will hardly find a woman who is proud of her husband. However hard a man works for the family, a Kenyan woman will still dub him ‘useless’.
And how they gossip, these our beautiful women!
