Newsmakers: Orie Rogo Manduli

NEWSMAKERS: Focus on 'Iron Lady', Orie Rogo Manduli. Manduli: I've fought and won many battles. We crown Newsmakers for the year 2011 with the story of a woman who has continued to fascinate many, not only by her unique sense of style and fashion, but also by her outspoken character that has seen her politically wrestle it out with men for various leadership positions. A former model and rally driver, she has done what most women would consider taboo and what many men term as too aggressive, coming from a woman. But for a woman who at only 19 was a divorced mother of 3...she says she has no apologies to make, and hopes her story remains symbolic in the continued fight for gender equality. Here's Evelyn Wambui with tonight's Newsmaker, the one and only, Ambassador Orie Rogo Manduli.

[PKdamu]

I stand to be corrected but Evelyn Wambui is the best presenter/reporter we have.

[KIlonzo]

i would encourage every woman and girl child in kenya to stand up and take her place in the new modern world!.time has come to rise up and shine.i give kudos to women like our mothers who refused to lay down and die but we are who and what we are today as a result of their courage and determination against primitive cultural believes and traditions.for our sake they suffered a lot!!! i salute them today!!!!

'wherever i am, im a leader. Throw me in the desert and i'll lead the sand!' priceless!

[JOmondi]

@PKdamu I support your sentiments. She is very refined, eloquent and professional. Just listening to her makes you want to get more out of her.

[walexia]

I had the honor of meeting here back in kenya long time ago, my mother introduced me.I knew at once she was someone very special.

[Stephen-huec]

Very powerful and inspiring woman. I wish little girls would look up to such women.

[EricoPastar]

very well done Miss Manduli, you are pure inspirational, i personally might find you abit aggressive but i like your style.

[brutushita]

I love that saying 6:57-7:10: What is yours is what you sweated for. Not what your husband sweated for, not what your boyfriend sweated for. Especially those women who take men to court asking for "spousal support". Men worked for theirs. WORK FOR YOURS!

[NusuKappeti]

Good stuff! Great job Evelyn yet again!!

[jamaatuu]

Colourful Lady, she definitely has come along way.

[mtaliiparis]

Great piece of work and i agree with PK damu Evelyn Wamboi is the best report of our times

[nbonnie]

Orie Rogo Manduli best news I have seen so far. Hope you capture the Senate seat...

[jackieshala]

Respect my Lady we need a Republic day with all women you worked with.Tell them...

[indolilyindomitablelily]

She lived!

I only heard of her this year.

I’m a Nigerian.

So much love, respect and admiration of this this woman.

[mwasteve]

I think we dont give you the honor, respect and recognition you deserve mama

As long as we are clear that raising a family and looking after your home is also work, and that being a primary caregiver and raising happy well-adjusted children and supporting the man as a leader in the home has helped lots of men where they are today. If women only concentrated on building their own wealth, there's a good chance their husbands growth and prosperity would also slow down-so its really a TEAM EFFORT
