In addition, the proponents of the Bill are preparing to collect one million signatures to enable the BBI report move to the next process. The BBI reports seeks to amend at least 58 Articles of the 2010 Constitution but only about 10 require a referendum. However, the major hurdle is to ensure that the Bill is passed by at least 24 County Assemblies before it heads to Parliament.
