Narok County Senator Ledama Ole Kina is advocating for a rotational leadership model at the county level to allow more women to enter leadership positions.
Ole Kina also stated on social media that more women should be in positions of leadership because they are less corrupt than men.
The senator proposed legislation that would require a male governor to be replaced by a female governor at the end of his term, and vice versa.
“How about passing a gender rotational leadership legislation? If a man is a Governor in 2022 only a woman can become a Governor in 2027!” Ole Kina suggested.
He added: “2027 Elections must have 50% Women Governors, 50% women MPs and Senators . This we must work hard to ensure we achieve this representation. Women leaders care and are less corrupt …”
Ole Kina also chastised Nandi County Governor Stephen Sang for appointing his CECs, which was later revoked by an Eldoret court.
Sang, according to the senator, is a prime example of a leader who should be removed from office for flagrantly breaking the law.
“Some Governors are clueless and must be told as such! Violation of the constitution is an impeachable offense! Look what just happened in Nandi County ? The Governor violated Articles 1, 2, 3, 10, 19, 20, 21, 2, 27, 73, 174, 179, 185 and 196 of the Constitution of Kenya while making his appointments of CECs,” he said further.
The Eldoret High Court ruled that Governor Sang’s appointment of eight CECs violated gender balance provisions.
This comes after a Nandi county resident filed a lawsuit challenging the appointment.
