“Digging His Political Grave”- Amerix Dismisses Maraga’s 50% Women Pledge

In summary

• Amerix has been a sharp critic of Maraga ever since the former Chief Justice hit the ground running in a bid to become the president.
• Maraga said he is keen on tapping the strengths of both gender to form a balanced government if he will be successful in 2027.

Bungoma based medic and masculinity ambassador Eric Amunga (Amerix) has dismissed Maraga’s pledge of forming a government with an equal share of leadership positions between both gender.

Amerix said that Maraga was ‘continuously digging his political grave unknowingly.’

“No, thank you! This one continues to dig his political grave unknowingly, cheered by feminists and m@nginas,” he said on his Telegram channel.

Amerix has been a sharp critic of Maraga ever since he announced his 2027 bid. In July 2025, Amerix said that Maraga’s bid will be soiled by what he described as ‘toxic feminists.’

“Kenya’s former Chief Justice David Maraga’s presidential campaign will be stained by the toxic feminists and leftwing activists who have hijacked him,” he opined.

Former Chief Justice (Emeritus) David Maraga had on Wednesday said that if elected president, he will fill government position on a 50/50 balance on gender. According to Maraga, this will create a balance that will ensure different strengths are augmented.

“Men excel in some areas, women excel in others. If you put them together, you have a balanced government,” he said.

Additionally, Maraga defended his stand saying it’s anchored on the principles of equality and inclusivity which are enshrined in our constitution.

“The Constitution provides that no more than two-thirds of members of any elective or appointive body shall be of the same gender,” he opined.

Maraga revisited his September 2020 hardline stand when he asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve parliament for failing to enact legislation for the implementation of the two thirds gender rule.
