Mark your calendar because the 14th of February 2020, may either make or break the hearts of women on the Kenyan land.
The popular date ´Valentine´s day´, that globally appreciates love between couples, will be celebrated differently by Kenyan men, this time around.
The men of this country have slotted in a Men´s Conference that will grace keynote speakers, among them, vocal media ethics´ chiefwhip, Ezekiel Mutua.
Bone of contention
Describing the current local situation, the KFCB Boss who honored an invite to grace the event, highlighted:
We must “rescue men” and guide them to be men in their homes and areas of influence. One of the sub-themes at the proposed conference is “Gather All, Scatter None”. We shall teach men how to love their wives and provide for their families.
The moral cop decried the shrinking recognition of the boy child in Kenya. Condemning the heavy adoption of Western culture that has seen men lose meaning in an African family setting.
The theme of the day will be ¨The role and Place of Man in Society¨. The event allegedly seeks the abolition of Valentine´s Day.
Dr Ezekiel expressed:
Given the importance of this discourse, I am inclined to accept the proposal and will in due course issue a comprehensive statement on the way forward after thorough consultations with elders who have in the past expressed strong views in having the men’s conference designated a national day to reflect on how men can play a better role in the campaign for restoration of moral values in Kenya.
Former Elgeyo Marakwet county assembly speaker, Albert Kochei, will moderate the event.
Key public figures, businessmen and church leaders will be in attendance.
