With 10 more county assemblies debating the Bill this afternoon, the number is expected to rise even higher. The BBI secretariat is already planning for the next phase of the BBI, chief among them countrywide tours to sell the referendum message. The BBI promoters have planned massive rallies to sell the document to Kenyans ahead of a June referendum after getting the nod from the minimum of 24 county assemblies. We are confident of obtaining approvals from at least 35 county assemblies, way above the constitutional threshold of 24 counties,” BBI secretariat co-chairman Dennis Waweru told journalists. On receipt, the President will send his message to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to hold a referendum.
