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.
The full text of the Kenya #GenderBill is available here: bit.ly/2PHpG7o

A constitutional crisis is brewing in Kenya. It has a lot to do with #genderquotas and #patriarchy. Here's why:
1/22
On 21 September, Kenya's Chief Justice D.K. Maraga advised President Kenyatta to dissolve parliament due to its failure to implement a constitutional clause on gender representation. 2/22 kenyalaw.org/kenyalawblog/c…
The Constitution of Kenya 2010 Article 27(b) requires: "the State shall take legislative and other measures to implement the principle that not more than two-thirds of the members of elective or appointive bodies shall be of the same gender." 3/22 constituteproject.org/constitution/K…

Happy to release this new(!) data we collected at the @vdeminstitute tracking responses to #Covid19 and the potential impact on #democracy. Many thanks to those who helped with coding! A short thread: 1/4
We capture risk of #PandemicBacksliding using data from 142 countries coded in early April. Our data show how #Covid19 responses may threaten #democracy and #freedom. We find that 48 countries are at high risk and another 34 countries are at medium risk. 2/4
The good news? In 47 countries, #Covid19 responses pose little to no risk of inducing #PandemicBacksliding. Emergency measures can respond proportionately without undermining accountability mechanisms (e.g. legislature, courts, civil society, media). 3/4
