Hon. Martha Wangari has been in frontline talking about the gender rule which advocates two thirds in every public office.  Speaking in a media interview Hon. Martha said that women tolerate a lot at their homes only trying to make successful homes.



"I have been going through tough times with my husband. He loved me so much before we got married. We used to do a lot of stuff together and felt the need to have him close. But later things change and it became tough for me to handle. That's the reason I decided to part ways with him. " She said.
