The Thirdway Alliance party has raised questions regarding the proposed referendum Bill 2020. Party leader Akuru Aukot said through a statement on Thursday state actors can easily manipulate the Constitution if the proposed bill goes through. “Curiously the drafters of the Bill have barred litigants from appealing the high court rulings in referendum petitions. According to Part VI-Referendum Petitions of the Proposed Referendum Bill 2020, the conduct, result and validity of a referendum may be challenged by petition to the High Court. Aukot has also said that the referendum questions in section 6(2) of the proposed law gives the commission sole discretion in determining the referendum question.
