Women Muslim leaders from the North Eastern region now want the Supreme Court to review its ruling that granted schools the discretion to decide on whether Muslim students should wear hijabs or not.
The women leaders have termed the ruling by the apex court discriminative.
Led by Isiolo Women Representative, Rehema Dida, the leaders say the ruling contravenes freedom of worship for Muslim students.
"The Chief Justice David Maraga should review the ruling because it violates the constitutional rights of our girls to worship," Dida told journalists at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi on Friday.
The Isiolo MP said that schools are likely to violate the rights of Muslim girls going by the ruling.
"The Supreme Court completely disregarded the rights of worship and religious practice for Muslims in the ruling and we are demanding for review of the decision," Ijara MP Sophia Abdi Noor said.
Noor who spoke to journalists in Ijara Town on Saturday vowed to protest against the ruling.
"We are ready to protest and demand a review of the decision because it discriminates against our girls," the MP said.
Garissa Women Representative Anab Subow also faulted the ruling.
Subow said that the ruling that puts Muslims at the mercy of school administration on dress code is unconstitutional.
The Garissa MP noted that the ruling denies Muslim girls their right to cultural and religious practices.
The Supreme Court's ruling has elicited debate among Muslim leaders.
On Thursday, the apex court overturned a Court of Appeal's ruling that had allowed Muslim girls to wear hijabs in school.
In its ruling, the apex court said every school has a right to determine its own rules on dress code.
The ruling means that schools will decide on whether to allow the wearing of hijabs or not.
