Activists Okiya Omtatah and

Wycliffe Gisebe have filed an application at the Supreme Court asking it to revoke a decision that made the two-thirds gender rule a constitutional imperative.

They argue that there are no benefits in raising the membership figure of the national legislative bodies.

“The current clamour to apply the so-called gender rule is unreasonable for being detached from reality, and for being totally immune to rational argument,” the two say.
