"It is a real shame that although it is against the law in Kenya to use derogatory terms in reference to a woman's circumcision status, the governor of Kiambu got away with this.” “I do not respond to uncircumcised girls,” Mr. Kabogo blurted out in Kikuyu in an apparent reference to Ms. Ng'ang'a's attack on his style of leadership. Men no matter what social standing, are standing against women who refuse to be cut and this is a problem for many. "The girl's parents want them to have families and…
