There you have it, judges @Zippy_okoth, @Njeri_Kiereini and @miconyango have decided that all the women get to fight another day. However, they have been left with a stern warning to step up their game. It will take more to become the ultimate #MsPresident.

QUOTE: "Many young people are getting married at teenage years but after a few years of being together the woman is far more mature in reasoning than her husband. That difference in reasoning is causing conflict that ends up as GBV in homes"

"Poverty is the main cause of GBV here. We have a saying in lusoga that "obwavu lumbe" meaning poverty is death. Women despise their poor husbands, this angers the men into beating them up to humble them."
