| Updated Sun, May 7th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi and the Majority Leader Aden Duale devise a plan to revive debate on gender rule to save Parliament from dissolution. The Bill, called the ‘Duale II Bill’ was originally published in August 2015. It sought to have women nominated to Parliament to top-up the gender gap and ensure that at least one-third of the MPs in the next Parliament are women. After that, it will be up to Duale and the Majority Whip Katoo ole Metito to marshal the requisite numbers. The Senate too will have to use the same route, and because the Senators are on recess until June 13, they will have to come back this month for a special sitting to pass the Duale Bill.
