Parliament in Kenya has decided to appeal a High Court ruling that declared President William Ruto's Cabinet unconstitutional due to failing the two-thirds gender rule.The court found the Cabinet, with 18 men and seven women, did not meet Article 27(8) of the Constitution requiring at least nine women.

Parliament plans to challenge this decision through the Court of Appeal, seeking to suspend the directive for reconstituting the Cabinet within 120 days.The ruling came after a three-judge panel declared the current composition unconstitutional, giving Ruto until 120 days to adjust it.The appeal highlights ongoing tensions over gender representation in politics and the judiciary's role in enforcing constitutional mandates.Critics argue the decision could set a precedent for future appointments, while supporters see it as necessary for equitable governance.
