Thuluthi Mbili Za Mama Chairperson Rozaah Buyu has asked national government to implement the two thirds gender principle before August 27 this year and to protect the constitution.
Speaking to Journalists at a Kisumu hotel on Thursday Chairperson Buyu said the parliament and Attonary General Githu Muigai should jump start the implementation process before the end of August instant.
"We know that we have lost time. For a bill to be introduced in parliament, it takes 90 days. Obviously we do not have that 90 days. Even if there is a small extension required to allow the process to be completed, but the process must now be initiated," said Buyu.
She said that the constitution is very clear that no elective seat should not be filled with more than two thirds gender representation.
"Today you have seen the men come out on the same issue because this is not a women affair alone. This is a process about the constitution. Its an action for both men and women," said Buyu adding that the two thirds gender rule must be protected and effected as per the new constitution.
Chair Buyu was speaking during advocacy of leadership in Kisumu where she said two thirds gender rule is a special article in the new constitution.
Thuluthi Mbili Za Mama chair also said the five-year transition was the optimum time given for the implementation of the articles in the constitution.
"Five years elapses in August 27 this year, which is just a month away. This is a call that a mechanism has not been put to show two thirds principal is implemented," said Buyu.
Buyu added she will spearhead a collection of signatures to push for amendment of the constitution to effect the one-third gender rule in the country.
