Female Cabinet Secretaries on the spot for asking bodyguards to carry handbags
Kenyans on social media have expressed their discomfort with the increasing habit of female cabinet secretaries to ask male bodyguards to carry their handbags .
This after two women Cabinet Secretaries, Raychelle Omamo and Sicily Kariuki, were pictured walking alongside smartly dressed bodyguards who were carrying their handbags.
In retaliation, a group of Kenyans searched up and displayed photos of senior government officials around the world, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former US First Lady Michelle Obama, carrying their own handbags.
Sample some of the reactions below.

By the way, Waiguru used to be very proud and arrogant but did she ever ask her bodyguard to carry her handbag? #GrowUpSicilyKariuki
