President Kenyatta has no option but to dissolve Parliament

The momentous and long overdue advise by the Honourable Chief Justice David Maraga to President Uhuru Kenyatta, to dissolve Parliament for its failure to enact necessary legislation to implement the not more than Two-thirds gender rule, has left the head of State with no option but to dissolve parliament within 14 days of the advice.

The Supreme Court Advisory Opinion No 2 of 2012 had advised thus-
“We are of the majority opinion that legislative measures for giving effect to the one-third-to-two-thirds gender principle, under Article 81(b) of the Constitution and in relation to the National Assembly and Senate, should be taken by 27 August, 2015.”
