The reality check of early dissolution of Parliament has hit MPs with the clock fast ticking towards the judicial deadline for the approval of a law to meet the two-thirds gender principle.

With 20 days left to the expiry of the 60-day ultimatum, the Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi and the Majority Leader Aden Duale have come up with a new two-step plan that will make it possible for MPs to amend the Constitution before they go on the final break and hit the campaign trail.
