President Uhuru Kenyatta has been put in the spotlight after the Supreme Court recommended the dissolution of the National Assembly for non-compliance with the two-thirds gender rule, a move likely to test his commitment to the rule of law.
The advisory by Chief Justice David Maraga followed six petitions by the Law Society of Kenya(LSK), former Marakwet West MP David Sudi and Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Margaret Toili, Fredrick Mbugua, Bernhard Aoko and Stephen Owoko, urging him to advise the Head of State to dissolve Parliament for failing to pass the affirmative action legislation in accordance with the Constitution.
