Mary Kilobi Atwoli schools women on how to submit to their husbands

Mary Atwoli, the wife of Central Organisation for Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary-General Francis Atwoli, has affirmed her husband's statement that she takes care of him properly.

Speaking at the Labour Day celebrations held at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, Atwoli had heaped praises on his wife for understanding his needs and taking care of him.

"Mimi si kijana ata mkiona bibi yangu Mary ni m-young. Mary kazi yake ni kuona socks iko namna gani, shati yangu ni safi. Saa ya kumeza dawa imefika sababu siweziandika mfanyi kazi. Yeye ndo anaangalia saa yangu ya ndege imefika, passport yangu iko namna gani.

"[I am not a young man, even when you see my wife Mary, she is younger. Mary's job is to make sure my socks are in order, my shirt is clean. It's time to take medicine because I can't write, I'm a worker. She is the one checking if my flight has arrived and how my passport looks like,]" Kilobi said.

"[Weren't you told about this lady's job? She enjoys it. Is it a tiring thing to dress bae, give them medication, and carry their boarding pass? And I have a Master's degree, remember. Oh, I can't even take off an adult's socks... Oh, I can't give someone medication... You eat your arrogance,]" Kilobi said.
