On May 9, Kenya’s 11th Parliament will reconvene and, among its key priorities will be to pass the Gender Bill.

President Uhuru Kenyatta recently instructed National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale to put the Bill at the top of the House’s agenda in order to stave off a constitutional crisis and place issues related to women’s leadership at the forefront.
