    "content": "On 11th December 2012, the Supreme Court, by a majority decision, ruled that the realisation of the two-thirds principle was not an immediate right for women. The only dissenting opinion in that bench was the Chief Justice (CJ) himself. All the others agreed. He directed that legislation be enacted on or before 27th August 2015, to give effect to the principle under Article 81(b) of the Constitution. The court, however, stated that county assemblies ought to have had, at least, one-third of women after the March 2013 General Election in line with Article 177(1)(b) of the Constitution."
