Women In Focus: Ms. Yvonne Khamati

Women in Focus: Ms. Yvonne Khamati

“Gitobu Imanyara introduced me to politics, the deep end of politics and left me to swim with the sharks... From being a youth advisor to the UN... I moved to a boardroom filled with propaganda, insults... It was literally a change from day to night”

As Yvonne Khamati took me through her story, I could not help but marvel at her courage, wisdom, consistency and eloquence. I thought to myself “how can such a young lady have the answers to almost everything (and I use the word almost loosely)?” and as we drew to a close of the interview it dawned on me that as the youth we lost greatly when Ms Yvonne Khamati did not win the Makadara seat in 2002.
