Parliament has yielded to President Uhuru Kenyatta and deleted sections of a Bill that would have compelled employers to give leave to parents of adopted children or those born through surrogacy.

The National Assembly failed to marshall a two-thirds majority — or 233 lawmakers — to overturn the President’s memorandum to the Employment (Amendment) Bill, 2019 sponsored by Gilgil MP Martha Wangari.
