内罗毕 - 议会将就高等法院裁定威廉·鲁托总统的内阁因未能符合宪法规定的三分之二性别比例原则而违宪的判决提起上诉。\n\n国民议会通过议长办公室已向上诉法院（CoA）通报其计划对该判决提出挑战。该判决认定，现任内阁的组成违反了《宪法》第27条第8款，因为其成员中超过三分之二属于同一性别。\n\n议会还寻求暂停高等法院的指令，该指令要求任命当局在120天内重新组建内阁，以符合宪法规定的性别要求。\n\n上周，由法官E.K. Ogola、Stephen Githinji和Jairus Ngaah组成的三人法官合议庭裁定，鲁托总统内阁的组成违宪，因为其未能满足三分之二性别原则。\n\n法官给予总统120天的时间重新组建内阁以符合宪法规定。\n\n现任内阁包括18名男性和7名女性，未达到宪法规定的门槛。为满足这一要求，内阁需要至少9名女性，这意味着如果内阁规模保持不变，则必须增任命两名女性。\n\n议会现在要求上诉法院推翻高等法院的决定，并在上诉审理和裁决期间暂停其执行。

Kenya: Parliament to Appeal Ruling Declaring Cabinet Unconstitutional



原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — Parliament will appeal a High Court ruling declaring President William Ruto's Cabinet unconstitutional for failing to comply with the constitutional two-thirds gender rule.

Through the Office of the Speaker, the National Assembly has notified the Court of Appeal (CoA) of its intention to challenge the judgment, which found that the current Cabinet composition violates Article 27(8) of the Constitution because more than two-thirds of its members are of the same gender.

Parliament is also seeking to suspend the High Court's directive requiring the appointing authority to reconstitute the Cabinet within 120 days to comply with the constitutional gender requirement.

Last week, a three-judge bench comprising Justices E.K. Ogola, Stephen Githinji and Jairus Ngaah ruled that the composition of President Ruto's Cabinet was unconstitutional after finding that it failed to meet the two-thirds gender principle.

The judges gave the President 120 days to reconstitute the Cabinet to comply with the Constitution.

The current Cabinet comprises 18 men and seven women, falling short of the constitutional threshold. To meet the requirement, the Cabinet would need at least nine women, meaning two additional women would have to be appointed if the size of the Cabinet remains unchanged.

Parliament now wants the CoA to overturn the High Court's decision and suspend its implementation pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.
