NTV journalist and news anchor Andrew Kyamagero has ignited reactions from netizens on social media following comments made during a TV talk show focusing on marriage issues.
During a TV talk show, Kyamagero made statements that implied women “belong in the kitchen.”
He expressed strong disapproval of women asking men to prepare their own food, regardless of whether both partners work.
He argued that a woman should never instruct a man to go to the kitchen, even if it only involves warming food in a microwave. He emphasized that he does not even own a microwave.
Kyamagero justified his stance by stating that, as a man, he considers himself the strategic head of the household, while a woman is responsible for other operations.
He deemed it disrespectful for a woman to send him to the kitchen. He added that such behaviour could tempt a man to seek food elsewhere, hinting that the woman would be fortunate if the man returned to her.
These remarks have sparked backlash, with many people taking to social media to criticize Kyamagero for his views.
Critics have labelled his comments as outdated and reflective of harmful gender stereotypes that undermine women’s equality.
