Kenya ranks 87 (out of 190) for women's representation. Currently there are 22% female MPs and 30% female senators. Most positions came through gender quotas.
Today, the Kenyan National Assembly began debating the #GenderBill to ensure minimum one-third representation of either gender as mandated by the Constitution.
Kenya #GenderBill provides additional seats filled by party lists if either gender wins more than two-thirds of elected positions. It limits nominated positions to two terms. The quota expires in 20 years, with possibility for 10 year extension.
