It is not secret that in Kenya women are underrepresented. From the first general election held in Kenya to the most recent 2013 general elections, men have been the majority in parliament.
There was not a single female Member of Parliament (MP) in the first legislature in 1963 and today female representation has only improved slightly. There was 4.1 per cent female representation in Parliament in 1997, 8.1 per cent in 2002 and 9.8 per cent in 2007.
