Case for the 2nd Claimant 9. The 2nd Claimant made similar claims as the 1st Claimant and filed a sworn statement of its Executive Director, Dominic Makawa Samuel. During the hearing, he duly adopted the same and was cross-examined. However, we shall not deal with this piece of evidence as we have concluded below that the 2nd Claimant does not have locus standi before this Court. Case for the Defendants 10. The Defendants, in their respective defences, stated that the impugned sections are constitutional and justifiable under section 44 of the Constitution. They also invited this Court to strike out the 2 nd Claimant’s case for lack of standing. 11. Counsel for the Defendants filed skeleton argument and made oral submission, for which the Court is grateful. Brief by the Amici 12. The Amici filed a detailed brief and made oral submissions, through Counsel. The Court has considered the same in resolving the challenge herein and shall make specific reference to the brief where necessary. Otherwise, in summary, Counsel drew the Court’s attention to the State’s domestic and international legal obligations to eliminate discrimination against women working as domestic workers. This was achieved by focusing on the relevant historical context contributing to the exclusion of domestic work from social protection. Page 6 of 45
