Kitutu Chache South Member of Parliament, Antony Kibagendi, has chided men who did not attend this year’s Men’s Conference, which coincided with Valentine’s Day.

According to the lawmaker, men who did not attend the event did so because they fear their wives.

“Those who didn’t attend the Men’s Conference on Valentines, ni wanaume wamekaliwa,” Mr Kibagendi said in a post on his Facebook page.

At the same time, the MP confirmed that he attended the event that was held on Tuesday evening at the Carnivore grounds in Nairobi.
