On August 12, 2019, during the International Youth Day celebrations at Homa Bay High School, Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni Wa Muchomba shared her thoughts on what qualities men should have to satisfy their wives.
According to Wa Muchomba, a man's ability to satisfy his wife in bed is crucial for a successful marriage. She stated, 'A man is not only a man because he has genital organs. One who can’t perform well in bed does not qualify to be called a man.'
Wa Muchomba emphasized that sex is an essential part of marriage, strengthening the bond between couples. She noted that women who are not satisfied in their marriages may seek out other men to fulfill their needs, leading to embarrassing situations.
The legislator also advised young men to work hard to earn money, rather than relying on others for financial support. She said, 'There are men who take ladies to a hotel to eat. When they have eaten, they pretend to be going for a nature call but they end up disappearing. Those are ‘fake’ men. Let young men work hard so that they don’t find themselves in a financial quagmire.'
Wa Muchomba further suggested that men should work on their voices, as a good voice is a major determinant in attracting a partner. She stated, 'A man’s life is full of challenges but he should use his voice to defend himself and overcome challenges in front of him. A good voice is a big determinant when it comes to single men trying to court a woman.'
