Parliament to hold special sitting to debate BBI Bill

THE STANDARD
NATIONAL
Parliament reconvenes tomorrow to deliberate on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) referendum Bill after the speakers received the report by the Joint committee on Justice and Legal Affairs.
Just a day after National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi called for a two-day Special Sitting to discuss and dispense with the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, his Senate counterpart Ken Lusaka also called for a sitting.
The JLAC team co-chaired by Senator Okongo Omogeni and Muturi Kigano have submitted the committee report of 171 pages to the two speakers and will be concurrently tabled in the two Houses.
"The Special Sitting will commence from 9.30am and proceed to the afternoon. If there is a spillover, I will Gazette another day to allow members to conclude deliberations," Lusaka told the Standard.

Uasin Gishu has become the first county assembly to abstain from voting on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020.
The county assembly, which was the last to debate the BBI Bill, did not take a vote after a long and heated debate during proceedings chaired by Speaker David Kiplagat.
It is a unique stand taken by the county legislative body that was the first in 2019 to back ‘Punguza Mizigo’ initiative fronted by Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot.
All 46 Members of the County Assembly were present during the debate that saw the first round of adopting a report by the committee on delegated legislation fail in acclamation.

As the country’s top leaders, dubbed ‘Super Seven’ hit the ground running this week to drum up support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, it is a race against time for public literacy.
The leaders, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, will be rallying Kenyans to back the BBI Bill set to be introduced in Parliament before going to a referendum.
