Several county assembly speakers who spoke to The Sunday Standard confirmed receiving a hard copy from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chair Wafula Chebukati, alongside its certificate for the referendum drive. “The commission requested the BBI promoters for additional printed copies of the Bill for onward transmission to the county assemblies in January. But a curious admission by Nyamira Speaker Moffat Teya indicates that county assemblies could have further mutilated the document during voting. Bungoma Speaker Emanuel Situ said his assembly received a hard copy of the BBI Bill from the IEBC chair. Nyeri Speaker John Kaguchia, Murang’a Speaker Nduati Kariuki, Embu Speaker Josiah Thikiru, Kiambu Speaker Stephen Ndicho and Nakuru Speaker Joel Kairu all said their assemblies received hard copies from IEBC.
