Proponents of the 1/3 gender principal will have scored a major feat if a bill proposing to create special seats from the next general election is endorsed. The bill tabled by majority leader Aden Duale wants to have specials seats in existence for 20 years from the next general after which the windows of nomination will be closed. The constitutional amendment bill 2015 by majority leader Aden Duale also proposes to limit nomination of a candidate to only two terms. The bill joins another by the Samuel Chepkonga led Justice and legal affairs committee which seeks to achieve the 1/3 gender principal progressively.By Simon Achola.
