Kenyan women oppose plan to delay gender rule implementation

NAIROBI: A women's caucus has now demanded the withdrawal of a bill that seeks to extend the August 27 constitutional deadline for the implementation of the two-thirds gender rule.

The women said the affirmative action law must be in place within the stipulated time set by the Constitution and dismissed the bill by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkonga that seeks a constitutional amendment to push its implementation.
