The 2/3 gender rule is the *only* constitutional provision that has not been implemented.

[Dr. Yolande Bouka @yolandebouka]

@Nanjala1 @marilynkamuru @marieeberry @RVInews In 2015 The National Women’s Steering Committee published “The Cost of Representation” in partnership with the Institute of Economic Affairs. The research debunked the “cost” argument. Maybe if these guys were less concerned with teapots and more concerned w/ the constitution 🤷🏾‍♀️

Live tweets coming from parliament as they debate the 2/3 #GenderPrinciple.

Reminder that the Cabinet of this Republic and the Supreme Court of Kenya are constituted in violation of the Constitution.

[#WeAre52pc @WeAre52pc]

Quarterly reminder that last year the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya, .@dkmaraga, ignored a petition asking him to dissolve an unconstitutional parliament.
He didn't care.

Dear Kenyans,
@UKenyatta and @WilliamSRuto statements on the #NotMoreThan2Thirds gender rule would be more credible if their own Cabinet and other appointments had adhered to it. As it is, much of GoK, including Parliament, is unconstitutional. https://t.co/YufQEWfDsC

The Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya ignored it.

.@dkmaraga

[gathara @gathara]

#WeAre52pc had petitioned @dkmaraga to write to @UKenyatta to disband Parliament for not abiding by the constitution. What became of this @marilynkamuru?

[#WeAre52pc @WeAre52pc]

But what does *progressively with a lifetime of 20 years* mean?

#WeAre52pc

[#WeAre52pc @WeAre52pc]

The 2/3 #GenderPrinciple is a constitutional *requirement* and not a suggestion.

.@HonAdenDuale

[#WeAre52pc @WeAre52pc]

The Constitution Amendment Bill 2018 seeks to amend the constitution to actualise the 2/3 #GenderPrinciple *progressively with a lifetime of 20 years from the next general elections*.

It's been 8 years since the promulgation of the CoK 2010. Parliament is yet to legislate a mechanism to actualise the 2/3 gender rule.

Ben, every day male politicians in this country steal from you -- how many of them did you vote into office? How many times have you declared that men are enemies to themselves? How's your male president doing?

[marcus_ marcus @puplinpups]

@ochieng_adul @RobertAlai @DavidNdii Ann Kioko who is the woman who petitioned the ban of abortion not a man. Women are enemy to themselves. No wonder we can't have woman President and they are 52% of population @WeAre52pc #MarieStopesAbortionsBan

[#WeAre52pc @WeAre52pc]

@dkmaraga ignored this, btw

abolish prisons and all the institutions that feed into them, that mimic them (looking at you, Kenyan public boarding schools).

[Mike is on hiatus till 1/1/22 (check pinned tweet) @notmutant]

(there are readings in Dr Wandia's replies, if you'd like to see the direct link between borstal institutions, detention, and your standard Kenyan boarding school.)

If you are a documentary filmmaker or a non-fiction writer who would appreciate some time away from the hustle to focus on a long form project, apply for the Logan Fellowship at the @CareyInstitute. I couldn't have finished my book without it. https://t.co/jXOESGhhaf

[lol. last time for emphasis: #EzekielMutuaMustGo will mean and do *absolutely nothing* if #Repeal162 doesn’t come to pass. the labour needed to remove him and others is *already there* and queer people are *already organizing*]

[Brenda @brendawambui]

One of @thisisotherwise earliest episodes was on Ezekiel Mutua and censorship, and why he is so dangerous. Still relevant.

Listen and RT. https://t.co/iDl05ULUgb
