A section of leaders from the Mt Kenya region have agreed that Parliament is the way to implement the Building Bridges Initiative as opposed to a referendum. This comes after the 57 leaders held a two-day retreat in Embu to discuss the way forward on the BBI report. The legislators on Saturday said any Constitutional amendment in relation to BBI report should be Parliament-led. They said many aspects contained in the BBI report can be implemented in the Parliament because they touch on the law and not amendment to the Constitution. The group said Kenyans are already over burdened and national resources should be spared from a national referendum.
