Women leaders under the Embrace Kenya lobby group have vowed to push to have women allocated half of Government positions if a referendum is held.

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, a key member of the group, yesterday noted that men had dominated the Government for years and that time had come for this to change.
