It has now emerged that voting of the Gender Bill could be pushed to February next year.
The Garissa Township lawmaker-Aden Duale sponsored bill was set to be tabled in the National Assembly for voting on Wednesday.
However, it now emerges that the same could be postponed to give room for ongoing lobbying, as its supporters attempt to martial enough support to pass it.
According to the Standard, the bill which enjoys the support of all major parties is on the brink of falling, following reports that a good number of members are against it.
With lawmakers set to slip into their festive season break on December 6, the voting could only be held early next year should it be postponed past next week.
The paper adds that the House Business Committee had demonstrated on the possibilities of pushing the vote, at a time when parliamentary groups of top political formations that were set for today have also been postponed.
This was confirmed by Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Political Affairs Secretary Opiyo Wandayi who said that a meeting in favour of the bill has since been indefinitely called off.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto, opposition leader Raila Odinga and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka have all thrown their weight behind the bill seeking to elevate female representation in the legislative houses.
