Andrew Kibe opens up on why he does not employ women
By Steve Ireri, January 9, 2026Media personality Andrew Kibe has revealed the reason why his team does not include women, citing his beliefs about societal roles and the functions he believes women are best suited to fulfil.
Speaking during an interview with Alex Mwakideu on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the outspoken commentator explained that his approach to staffing is deliberate and reflects his view on how men and women should occupy different spaces in both society and professional environments.
He stated that he believes women’s primary responsibilities include having children and raising them, roles he described as central to society and incompatible with the type of work and performance standards he expects from his team.
“The reason why my team does not have even one woman is that I do not employ women, because I know where women need to be placed in society and those places include getting babies and raising those babies, and that is what you have here,” Kibe said.
Kibe added that in his assessment, workplaces with female employees often reveal weaknesses not related to gender or competency, but rather to consistency and execution, factors he considers critical to his team’s success.
“Because you have employed women in your team, and when I walked here I saw weakness, not gender quality or another,” Kibe said as he reacted to the fact that Mwakideu has female employees in his team.
Marriage
“I liked Moi because he deliberately said that he did not have a wife, which meant that even if he were found with a woman, it would not have been an issue, and my point always comes back to the fact that married people are fake, because I do not know a married person who is not fake,” Kibe said.
The former radio presenter, who claimed that he does not know a single married person who is not fake, revealed that women and married people are the two groups of people he is currently trying to step away from working with.
He lamented that one can agree on something with a woman at one moment and encounter a completely different position the following day, stating that such changes make trust difficult.
“That is why at the moment the two types of people I am trying to step away from working with are married people and women, because for me the reasons are the same, since you can agree on something with a woman today and tomorrow she has already changed her mind,” he said.
Citing Kikuyu tradition, the media personality stated that matters involving women are usually resolved in the morning because what is said at night and what is said in the morning are often two different things.
“Changing minds is not for men, because when a person like me commits to something it happens, but women and married men cannot be trusted, and in our Kikuyu tradition we say that matters involving women are usually settled in the morning because what she tells you at night and what she tells you in the morning are two completely different things, and I have learnt how they are and I choose to stay away from both,” Kibe shared.
