Couples in Migori county have been asked to deny partners without IDs and voters cards sex and marriage benefits, this is done as a way to motivate the partners without IDs to seek for the IDs to ensure Cord leader Raila Odinga becomes the next president in 2017.
During a tour of five constituencies last Friday, ODM leaders asked opposition supporters to ensure either the man or woman, or both, acquire the documents.
“Any adult who has reached sexual maturity in Migori should never be offered any comfort of sex unless he has the two vital documents,” said Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang’.
He went ahead and urged girls not to date or marry men without the documents saying they can neither open bank accounts nor use mobile money transfer services therefore they will continue being bankrupt and will never provide for their families .
“Some jealous men have refused to allow their wives to get the vital documents as they are afraid they may acquire an M-Pesa account and get money from their side lovers,” he said.
Women should sleep "while facing the wall", while men should send wives without IDs and voters cards back home, said Homa Bay women's representative Gladys Wanga.
“We will also instruct elders never to allow any woman to be married in their homesteads without an ID,” she said. The leaders said said they will create small
groups in villages whose members will ensure locals acquire the documents.
