Women Leaders Push For A 50-50 Slot In Gender Equality In The Upcoming BBI Release

Women leaders representatives have come out to claim that they will be willing to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) only if it will retain the Women Representative slots and also give them a chance of making it on the Senate.

Giving themselves the name of ‘Embrace’ and led by the Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and Senate Deputy Majority leader Fatuma Dullo (Isiolo), the small group consists of women allied to both the president and his deputy president who have come out in support of this idea.

“The best avenue to address the standoff that has frustrated the gender rule is the BBI. In this regard, while expressing our support for the BBI agenda, the process should not only protect but expand women’s gains in the Constitution,” said Ms Waiguru.

“We are asking for gender alternative so that if the governor is male, the deputy should be female, if the Speaker is male, the deputy speaker should be female,” Waiguru added.
