BBI process an abuse of the popular initiative

Since the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, a few but critical issues have been clarified on what Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga’s plans are in shepherding the next phase of BBI. One, they have confirmed that BBI will go through the popular initiative and not the parliamentary amendment process. Two, they have unequivocally stated that the period of consultation on BBI has ended, so what is left is to walk the proposed amendments through the popular initiative process to the referendum.
