A new reality TV show Dubbed Ms President is set to be produced in Kenya and women aged between 20 and 70 with a minimum secondary school education are allowed to be part of the cast.
From the requirement slay queens are not given first priority as it has been the case in most auditions for the search of actresses.
“We are not looking for beauty queens we are looking for women who are leaders. It’s not putting women on TV but putting them through leadership training and mentorship” said Frenny Jowi the project officer.
With funding from the European Union the series will be produce by Media Focus on Africa.
The series seeks aims to increase the chances of women in Kenya talking up leadership positions by showcasing intelligent and articulate women who can make good ‘presidential candidates.’
The TV show is premised on the original series by the Palestinian Ma’aan Television Network’s high popular reality TV programme The president.
