The County Assemblies Leadership Caucus has warned that politicians are hiding under minor errors in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill to hijack law review.

The Caucus chair and Leader of Majority, Meru County Victor Mutuma, termed reports that assemblies passed an erroneous version of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020 "unfortunate sensationalisation of the facts."
