On today's International Women's Day, I celebrate Kenya's 'Iron Lady' Martha Wangari Karua.

Unlike Kenya's usual political gang members, the senior lawyer, former Gichugu MP and now People's Liberation Party leader is by all means credible for high office.

When she was Azimio chief Raila Odinga's running mate in 2022, there were hopes that a woman of strength, brains and willpower would be deputy president.

It didn't happen.
