Media personality and digital commentator Andrew Kibe has once again sparked widespread discussion after openly sharing his beliefs about women’s roles in society, particularly his assertion that women should not be employed in the kinds of workplaces he runs.
His comments, made in early January 2026 during an interview with fellow media figure Alex Mwakideu, reveal a worldview that challenges current norms about gender equality and employment, and have generated sharp reactions both online and offline.
Kibe, a former radio presenter turned online commentator known for his outspoken opinions, explained that he deliberately does not employ women in his team.
He said this reflects what he believes to be “natural” societal roles: that women’s primary responsibilities include having and raising children, rather than participating in the paid workforce.
“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,” Kibe said.
Beyond staffing decisions, Kibe stated that his resistance to working with women is rooted in perceptions about consistency and reliability.
He claimed that workplaces with female employees often reveal “weaknesses,” which he attributes — not to individual skills or experience — but to gender itself.
He went further, linking this viewpoint with his broader personal philosophy on relationships and marriage.
Kibe said he tries to avoid both women and married men in professional contexts, arguing that commitments and changing opinions can make trust difficult in business dealings.
These views are not isolated. In previous years, Kibe has made other remarks that critics describe as dismissive of women’s agency and equality.
In a 2025 interview, he controversially claimed that women who cannot have children are “useless” and argued that women should not earn their own money unless it comes directly from their romantic partner.
He described gender equality as a “scam” and insisted men and women have distinct, non‑interchangeable roles.
Kibe also recently blamed married couples for raising “feminist daughters,” saying that weaknesses in parenting contribute to what he views as societal confusion over gender roles.
He is now planning to publish a follow‑up book aimed at “helping women understand men better,” framing it as guidance women need to navigate relationships.
