Esther Murugi Mathenge tells wives to deny husbands conjugal right

In February 2016, Nyeri Town MP Esther Murugi called on women to deny men conjugal rights and food until they register as voters.

Ms Murugi, who has been in the limelight in the past for making controversial statements, has also asked pastors not to allow followers in their churches unless they produce their national identity cards and the voters cards.

“As women, we have decided that our husbands and sons will not also get food until they register as voters,” she said.

Women who do not get listed should also not be given money to buy food or for any other use, the MP added.

Ms Murugi said those who fail to get listed should also be denied basic services in public institutions.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has launched mass voter registration ahead of 2017 General Election.
