Chief Justice David Maraga has advised President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve Parliament for failing to enact the two-thirds gender rule.

In an advisory dated September 21, Maraga said he was responding following six petitions seeking his advice on the matter.

“The petitions are based on the ground that despite four court orders compelling Parliament to enact the legislation… Parliament has blatantly failed, refused or neglected to do so….” Maraga said.

The CJ said it was his constitutional duty to advise Uhuru.

“Let us endure pain if we must..” he said.
