The Kenya Women Senators (KEWOSA) jointly with the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) will be running a week long campaign starting today, Tuesday 21st February 2023.

 The campaign will run for a week, which will entail Supporting Local Designers. The Women Members of Parliament will wear outfits made by their local designers for all Parliamentary sessions this week.

The campaign seeks to support the local industries by consuming locally produced goods and services.

Speaker Amason Kingi today hosted Australian Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Tim Witts who is in Kenya on official tour.

The two leaders discussed issues of mutual interest affecting the two countries, ranging from gender parity, security and education exchange programmes.

Speaker Kingi said although gender principle is enshrined in the constitution, effecting the constitutional principle of two thirds rule is not easy.

"We haven't as a country hit the constitutional threshold on gender parity," the Speaker told the Assistant Minister.
