And that is why the fellows from Nyeri who are having their members dismembered are obviously more emotionally balanced and more motivated than our Yale educated, World Bank senior employee Central Bank governor!!!

Total Rubbish!!! Marriage should not be used to judge a prospective employee. We have hard working married people, we have rubbish married people. We have hardworking single people, we have rubbish single people.

Anyone using that criteria is a rubbish <whatever marital status> person*.

*Unless the job would be easier for someone of a certain marital status - like one might need to be transferred every now and then or work ungodly hours. And even then, the person should decide if given his/her marital status, he/she would be comfortable with the job!!!

You cannot force your opinion on someone else. Let those who think marital status is important let those who don't think so be,
and vice versa. After all democracy is about agreeing to disagree; tolerance.
For me, it's an important question as it tells me about your social values. After all, the guy was after a public position. ..when you apply for such be ready to handle public scrutiny...fulstop.

A human being is not a machine. marital problems are sometimes displaced at the work. But anyway let's wait and see whether he is what Kenya needs at this time.

Abolish the senate as Senegal did in 2012
SRC should have some bulldog teeth otherwise it should be disbanded.

The budget has been going up every year and the deficit too. I think its like competition who has the largest budget and after the money is forwarded to the ministries, an year after they say several billions were not spent and sent back to the treasury.We never know what happens to the money returned.
With this trend ,prepare yourselves for tough times ahead.Greece is just an example at least they still have Europe to cling on.

Who remembers the article by David Ndii on Ghana ? He said that is where Kenya is headed

The question he was asked was NOT if he was married but why he wasn't married.
1) "it is believed that having a spouse and kids makes a person emotionally balanced and well motivated because they have something important to lose" Moi was married. He had kids. They whole family [except the estranged wife] stole or benefitted from the crooked father's dealings.
2) Was Jomo Kenyatta married? Did his family acquire land everywhere well beyond the family's needs? [Note we are talking of acquisition that wasn't on the level]
3) Was Mother Teresa married? Did she have kids? Did she devote her life to a great cause? Or did she accumulate wealth like #1 & #2 above?
4) Was Saitoti married? Did he have kids? Did he append his signature to the Goldenberg documents?
5) Is Paul Pattni married? Does he have kids? Do I need to ask the question?

My guts are ttelling me that @ike is a lady .... ha ha i have never heard a man who talks family emotionally stability in business affairs . Thank you @vvs hope this will change someones mind about marriage and financial obligations duties

Why don't we ask such questions of our MPs or Senators or President before they are elected?
Heck, a former president even called a press conference for the sole purpose to announce he has only wife.

married and unmarried persons are in different taxation categories, enjoy different benefits and priviledges in some jurisdictions like where KIASH resides. To me, that question is very valid although it should not disadvantage anyone.

Another honest married chap in a public position.
