MPs allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga clashed with their colleagues in Deputy President William Ruto’s camp over the Referendum Bill, with one side pushing for a ‘yes or no’ referendum and the other calling for a multi-question referendum. Yesterday, Ruto’s allies kept up pressure to amend the National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2020 to allow for a multiple-question referendum. National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohammed said those pushing for a multiple-question referendum are free to bring their own amendments instead of seeking to mutilate the proposed changes. We went out there and collected one million signatures and took them to the IEBC with the draft BBI Bill. The joint team agreed to drop the proposed multi question referendum, signalling an early win for pro-BBi team.
