The push to clear hurdles in the way of passage of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report and other government sponsored agenda in Parliament is at the centre of a rush by the ruling Jubilee Party to craft post-election coalitions, according to sources.

Among the Government agenda include any possible impeachment motions against the President or the Deputy, censure motions against Cabinet Secretaries and suppressing money bills that invoke a presidential veto and, therefore, require two thirds of MPs to overturn.
