A recent social media clip that went viral in Kenya captures a moment that, while brief, speaks volumes about the structural inequalities that persist in our society.
In the video, a lawmaker is seen purchasing bananas from a roadside woman vendor. After the transaction, he asks for her mobile number to pay. Moments later, the MP expresses confusion—he tells her that the name on the mobile money account is not hers. She replies that although she bought the phone, it is registered in her husband’s name.
