Take the noble BBI proposals through parliament route

One thing promoters and critics of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report agree on is that it contains some noble proposals, which if implemented will transform the lives of ordinary Kenyans.

But the two groups’ point of departure is legality of the process that came up with the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. Whereas the critics dismiss the process as illegal, and which was affirmed by the High Court when it dismissed the entire process as flawed, the promoters aver the process is legal and that is why they have moved to the Appeal Court to overturn the High Court ruling.
