Asked why the county bosses were abandoning their own push for constitutional changes, dubbed Ugatuzi Initiative, Prof Kibwana said the BBI report had accommodated most of the issues the governors had raised. “The Constitutional Committee at the Council of Governors will sit and analyse the BBI report so that we advise governors on the way forward.
