Following the Supreme Court ruling directing Parliament to legislate a framework to realise the two-thirds gender rule as required by Article 81(b) of the Constitution, the Attorney General constituted a Technical Working Group (TWG).
The TWG recommended that “...the only proposed formulae that will realise the two-thirds gender rule with precision is amending the Kenya Constitution 2010. The amendment is to use the formulae that has worked for the county governments after the 2013 elections thus lifting Article 177 (1) (b) and (c) of the Constitution and importing it in Article 97 and 98 of the Constitution for representation in the National Assembly and Senate accordingly”.
