"The path to achieving the two-thirds gender rule requires concerted efforts among all stakeholders. The media plays a crucial role in advancing the tenets of diversity, inclusion, and equality. We aim to continue to use our voice and platforms to debunk the myths surrounding the Two-Thirds Gender Rule," said Mbori.
FNF Country Director Stefan Schott also called for the rights of women; "We believe that democracy can not work if one part, 50 per cent of the society is not fully represented and the two-thirds gender rule is a co-element of that."
Since 2010, at least 11 bills have been introduced in the National Assembly in a bid to operationalize the rule but none have succeeded in passing into law.
Today as the country celebrates 14 years since the promulgation of the constitution dubbed Katiba Day, there are at least 7 elected women Governors, 30 women Members of Parliament, and 114 ward representatives.
