Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has promised to table the Two-Thirds Gender Bill in Parliament days after it flopped.
Duale says he will once again table the bill to give MPs another chance to vote and pass it.
According to Duale, all is not lost on the bill, adding that female lawmakers should not despair.
"I am going to table the Gender Bill back to the floor of the House to give MPs another chance to vote," the vocal Garissa lawmaker said on Sunday.
Duale denied claims that certain forces are out to frustrate passage of the bill.
He said Parliament's top leadership is determined to ensure MPs pass the gender parity law.
On Wednesday last week, Parliament for the fourth time failed to pass the bill.
The bill needed the support of 233 MPs to sail through but there were only 174 lawmakers in the House when Duale tabled the bill.
A section of women leaders among them Garissa Woman Representative Anab Subow has hit out at their male counterparts in the House for the allegedly frustrating passage of the Bill.
The women leaders now say they will not support referendum calls unless the bill is passed.
