The possibility of Kenya going to a referendum became clear yesterday after the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill reached the 24-county constitutional threshold.
In what has now been dubbed ‘Super Tuesday,’ at least 38 counties had by last evening passed the Constitution of Kenya (amendment) Bill, 2020.
Baringo is the only assembly that has so far rejected the Bill. A section of MCAs have moved to court to challenge the manner in which the exercise was conducted.
The Bill will now be transmitted to Speakers Justin Muturi (National Assembly) and Ken Lusaka (Senate).
