Classic 105 presenter Maina Kageni was on the morning conversation asking listeners why they give their mothers more money than their fathers.

Maina asked whether young men were digging their own graves by doing so, "Apparently fathers are the most neglected people."

Adding, "I believe you reap what you sow. It's not a coincidence that mothers are given more money than the father because they were never there," he said.

Maina then asked why people think their mothers deserved more money.

"Why don't you give your fathers' money? And why do you give your mother more money than your dad? Is it because they deserve more?"

Caleb Chauro: Our mothers are always close not only materialistically, but emotionally too. She's the first person you come into contact with while you're born and forever I'll treasure her. #MainaAndKingangi

Governor Kahuho: There are 4 levels of the definition of FATHERLESSNESS - An absent father who is absent - A present but absent father - A present father who is present but absent - A present father but weak All these fathers take away a child's self-identity.

Cikunice: Kuniambia nitafte msee hakushuglika na Mimi nikiwa mtoi is a huge insult. With all honesty idc about him

Jennifer Kanyiri: As a father if you're not available and you can't get time to bond with your children,,you'll reap in future what you are sowing now

  

Bella Ndichu: A parent is always a parent if she/he was there when you needed them. If a deadbeat parent wasn't there when you needed them the most, then that will never be a parent. We have the back of those who had our back growing up. #MainaAndKingangi

Nancy Obegi: Mothers are special creatures they are the ones who are in contact with the kids mostly

The Host William: Maina for the first time I agree with you. Ukipatia baba pesa mingi kuliko mama, ataongeza bibi wa pili na mama akufe ju ya pressure. Wazee wako na raha wakiwa na pesa mingi

Alltop solar Africa: A mother struggles more bringing children up than the father. She deserves to be treated like a queen. #MainaAndKingangi
