Court orders Attorney General and the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution to prepare bill on gender rule

The High Court has given the Attorney General and the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) 40 days to prepare and table the two-third gender rule bill before Parliament.

Justice Mumbi Ngugi in her ruling yesterday said the two institutions had put brakes on the directive issued by the Supreme Court in 2012, that the bill be tabled within five years after promulgation of the Constitution.
