We Don't Need BBI, Implement Two-Thirds Gender Rule, Says Zaja Featured

United Green Movement Party Secretary General Hamisa Zaja has called on president Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga to ensure the two thirds gender rule is first implemented before campaigning for the building bridges initiative (BBI).

According to Zaja Kenyans don't need a referendum but implementation of the existing laws in the constitution.

"BBI just came as a suggestion box, we have our own constitution which is the best and only needs to be implemented. We cannot have a suggestion box and a constitution at the same time and try to make them equal, this is unacceptable'' said Zaja.

Adding "We are supposed to address what affects us and what has not been implemented including the two thirds gender rule which affects Women in this country. They are now telling us that our problems as Women will be solved through the BBI, if they failed to implement the two thirds gender rule will they really be able to solve our problems yet they are still the same people".

Speaking at a media briefing at the Reneissance centre Mombasa, Zaja revealed they will soon petition  Chief Justice David Maraga to ensure that the two thirds gender rule is implemented.

Zaja also took issue with ODM leader Raila Odinga and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho for criticising Deputy President William Ruto for his magnanimity.

Zaja charged "There are some people complaining that the DP is donating wheelbarrows, Bodabodas, handcarts. Mr Dp please continue with your donations, the handcarts will help us fetch for water, the water tanks will help us store water"
