President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the Judiciary to push the political class to pass the two-thirds gender rule.

The President, who spoke during the International Women Judges Association conference, said courts need to ensure those who get into elective positions have the woman equality and development agenda as key pillars for the next five years.
