Former Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha has defended women in leadership and urged Kenyans to allow them to demonstrate their ability and strength.

Kenya's Representative to the United Nations UN-Habitat, who was accompanied by former Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) national treasurer Naomi Okul, urged residents to give women a chance to lead regardless of the position they want, saying that judgment should not be based on gender.

She faulted the community for giving women a raw deal, especially in political representation, denying them the chance to prove responsibility and worthiness.
