Writing a will is not enough, Nyandarua Senator tells married men
In many instances when men die, the absence of a will often lead to hardships for their wives and children.
Karangu Muraya, a renowned Kikuyu musician and philanthropist, recently sparked a debate on his Facebook page by urging men to prioritise writing a will to protect their families’ interests in their absence.
“To my fellow men, remember that writing a will doesn’t imply your demise…. widows often face hardships out here,” he said.
Now, Nyandarua Senator John Muhia Methu has added his voice to the debate by proposing an alternative approach to empowering women.
“Instead of solely relying on wills, empower your wife to the extent that even in your absence, she possesses the resilience to withstand mistreatment. No one should be able to mistreat your wife without facing consequences,” Methu said.
The discussion initiated by Muraya’s post highlights the broader societal conversation regarding estate planning and gender empowerment.
