The High Court ruled on July 1 that President William Ruto's Cabinet does not comply with the constitutional two-thirds gender principle and directed the president to rectify the imbalance within 120 days, AllAfrica reported. The court found that the current composition falls short of the requirement that no more than two-thirds of members of appointive bodies be of the same gender.
It ordered corrective measures within four months.
The petition argued that the Cabinet appointments failed to uphold gender equality and inclusivity as provided under the Constitution. The two-thirds gender rule is one of Kenya's constitutional provisions on equality and inclusion.
