The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has announced a total of 3.18 million BBI signatures have been verified as it concluded the exercise. This is out of the 4.3 million signatures collected by the BBI team last year. IEBC only needed to verify one million signatures for the BBI Bill to be transmitted to the 47 county assemblies. Twenty-four assemblies are needed to pass the Bill for a referendum to happen. Counties that have passed the Bill are Samburu, Nairobi, Vihiga, Laikipia, Kisii, Siaya, Kisumu, Kajiado, West Pokot, Busia, Trans Nzoia and Homa Bay.
