Court of Appeal judge, Justice Fatuma Sichale, says the proposed constitutional amendment process (BBI Bill) was largely initiated by the Executive and not the people who are the constitutional decision-makers.

While giving her judgement on the BBI Appeal case alongside six other judges, Justice Sichale said the proposals by the BBI secretariat co-chairs should have been done via a parliamentary process, which she adds is the route of popular initiative.
