Kenyan Court Blocks Former Chief Justice’s Call to Dissolve Parliament Over Gender Quota Law Failure

A Kenyan court quashed an advisory issued by the nation’s former top judge that called on the president to dissolve parliament for failing to enact legislation on gender quotas. The advisory had urged the president to dissolve parliament, citing its failure to pass laws required to implement gender quotas.

The court ruling nullified the advisory, ending the formal recommendation that parliament be dissolved over the legislative delay.
