What started out as a joke on social media in Kenya about one of the ways men could avoid their partners on Valentine's Day, has become a reality.The suggestion that men tell their other halves that they are attending a Men's Conference - has become a reality.This year an actual Men's Conference is being held at a five-star hotel in the capital, Nairobi.In a clip shared by a local broadcaster, participants discuss different topics, including leadership in households and mentoring of young men.A panel of male speakers have been exchanging religious and cultural views on relationships.However, the conference has been criticised for allowing women in the audience."The #MensConference that is being televised on Citizen is a joke. How are women allowed in a men's only function. This is just evident enough that some 'elites' want to hijack the event and make profits from it. Without Mzee Kibor, Issa scam.#MensConference2020," tweeted Bravin."We are informed of some mediocre parody of the #MensConference2020 happening on Citizen TV. Kindly boycott, avoid, ignore and block, it has been pushed by feminine agenda. Be informed the #MenConference2020 is a private thing with top notch secrecy," Kushnah wrote.
