Introducing Hon. Margaret Nabwala Toili
Who's Hon Margaret?
Hon. Margaret is a Kenyan public servant and gender advocate born on 23rd November 1956 in Bungoma County (formerly Bungoma District). She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration and a Diploma in Public Administration from Kampala International University (KIU), as well as certificates in secretarial studies from her training institutions including Chwele Girls High School and Kinyanjui Technical Training College (KTTI). She is widely known as the “National Gender Champion” and “Mama wa watu wote” (“Mother to all”), reflecting her community-rooted service, mentorship of youth and students on leadership, and her advocacy for women, young people, and persons with disabilities. Her leadership also includes directing gender and teaching Gender, as well as involvement in community development initiatives such as table banking, tree planting, growing seedlings for sale, and agribusiness.
In governance and justice, Hon. Margaret Toili has pursued constitutional change through both litigation and politics. She has vied four times for elective positions—seeking National Assembly seats in 2013 and 2017 and contesting as County Women Representative in 2022—driven by the belief that politics is the platform to translate public needs into legislation. She also sued the State in Margaret Nabwala Toili v State Law at the ruling stage, challenging the unconstitutional formation and operation connected to the dissolution of the 13th Parliament and 13th Senate, following guidance by former Chief Justice Emeritus David Maraga that the 12th Parliament and Senate be dissolved due to failure to implement the constitutional two thirds gender rule. Beyond formal politics, she has led sustained sensitization campaigns against femicide, calling for political will and rule-of-law compliance, and she actively champions disability rights through organizing, including founding KEDIPA in 2013 as a caucus for parliamentarians with disabilities.
