The National Gender and Equality Commission has continued to voice their view on maintaining the two thirds gender rule in all public service appointments.
According to the commission,national and county governments must apply the gender rule during the on-going recruitment.
” We wish to take this early opportunity to appeal to the appointing authorities and those responsible for vetting proposed holders of Public office including Senior government officers, Parastatal heads, County Executive Committee members, Chief Officers, Senior county government officers among others to uphold equality and inclusion principles enumerated in the Constitution and in various pieces of legislation..." said the commission as quoted by KBC.
As a result special interest groups including women, youth, PWDs, minority and marginalized communities have all been requested to take part in the public sector and apply for the various positions available.
“The Commission shall continue to monitor the integration of the principles of equality and inclusion in all spheres of life in line with its mandate.”
