Aden Duale, Rachel Shebesh clash over two-thirds gender rule

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale clashed with a member of the Speaker’s Panel when he dismissed as “a hot potato” the push to ensure a third of all MPs in the National Assembly are women.

In a meeting at Mombasa’s Serena Beach Hotel yesterday, Mr Duale (Garissa Township, URP) was confronted by Rachel Shebesh (Nairobi, TNA) when he said it was difficult to find a way to make sure at least one-third of all MPs in the House were women.
