Programs Manager at the Network for Women's Rights (NETRIGHT), Cynthia Sunu, has expressed concern over the significant challenges that persist in advancing gender parity within governance structures in the country.

Speaking to TV during a National Consultative Forum on Post-Election Accountability on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, she stated that despite the passage of the Affirmative Action Act in 2024, the representation of women in governance remains low. "Before the election, the Affirmative Action Act was passed.

However, when you look at the appointments being made by the current government, you realize that while there is some level of effort, it is not enough.

They are lumping all the appointments together and claiming that they are meeting the 30 percent target for women.
