Generation Z have announced plans for another demonstration, scheduled for Tuesday, August 27th, with a primary demand for the dissolution of Parliament. The young protestors are particularly focused on the ongoing failure to implement the two-thirds gender rule, a constitutional requirement aimed at ensuring greater gender equality in Parliament.
The planned protests will involve occupying the Supreme Court, symbolizing their call for judicial intervention to address what they view as persistent legislative failures. Gen Z activists argue that the current Parliament has consistently neglected its duty to enforce the gender rule, thereby undermining the constitutional rights of women in Kenya.
This latest demonstration reflects the growing frustration among younger Kenyans with the slow pace of political reform and the perceived lack of accountability among lawmakers. By organizing these protests, Gen Z aims to put pressure on both the judiciary and the executive to take decisive action. As the date approaches, all eyes will be on how the government responds to this renewed call for legislative accountability and gender equality.
