As the World Cup tournament gets underway in Qatar, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has made light of the unwritten 'rule' that TV remote controls should be handed over to men.
Dummy contracts drafted for comical effect have been doing rounds on social media in recent days where male football fanatics ask female members of their households to commit never to touch TV remotes until after the World Cup.
"I am hearing certain murmurs that TV remote controls have to be handed over by 7 pm latest today. Is anyone aware of where such a directive may have emanated from? Wanga posed.
The 2022 World Cup started on Sunday at 7 pm with the hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador.
The tournament will run until December 18 when the last of the 64 matches will be played and the winner declared.
Five African teams are participating in this year's showcase at the 22nd edition of the global showpiece.
These are defending African champions Senegal, Morocco, Ghana, Tunisia and Cameroon.
"We wish all African teams the very best at the FIFA World Cup," Wanga said in a tweet ahead of the start of the tournament.
Earlier, ODM leader Raila Odinga also wished African teams at the World Cup the best of luck and said he would travel to the Gulf nation to watch the game if an African team gets to the final.
