The stage is set for Kenyans to go to a referendum next June to vote on constitutional changes proposed in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report. 

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his ‘Handshake’ partner Raila Odinga already led pro-BBI MPs in endorsing the BBI at a retreat in Naivasha, effectively closing the door for further amendments as sought by Deputy President William Ruto and his allies.
