A friend recently proposed that maybe Kenya would be safer in the hands of women and followed this up with a great article in The Daily Nation about the recent nomination of Dorcas Oduor for Attorney General of Kenya.

The article examined how in the past few years more and more women have been showing up in the upper levels of the Kenyan justice system. It wasn’t lost on me that there were a few of them present and wearing robes at the swearing-in of the current president.
