Dear friend,

It is exciting to share with you that in the last few days, our team at EiE camped at a nice resort to bond, unwind, and more importantly,  reimagine how we can serve you better.If you know any active citizen around that would like to be updated with quality information on how to occupy the #OfficeOfTheCitizen, tell them to subscribe here. In the meantime, watch this space!

Women Occupy NASS Premises

On Tuesday, March 22nd, the brave women who had been occupying the National Assembly (NASS) gates gained access to the NASS premises, where they were met by the leadership of the House of Representatives who requested 7 legislative days to review all 5 bills and vote again.  Recall that on Tuesday, March 8th, the House of Representatives rescinded their decisions on the women-related bills for reconsideration. They are the bills on citizenship, indigeneship and 35% affirmative action for women.

Active citizens! do not relent! Keep engaging your Senator and House of Representatives member wherever you are. Don’t know who represents you? Visit www.shineyoureye.org. Then call, send texts and emails to let them know your position on the gender bills. You can also visit their constituency offices.
