A new push for further amendments to the BBI Constitutional Amendment Bill has emerged with allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto working on new proposals. The Star understands that the proposals will be tied up by Friday with the hope they will be incorporated in the Bill. The consensus proposals are aimed at ensuring that the Bill is more acceptable as opposition to it grows. At the same time, Raila Odinga’s ODM is also seeking to have the issue of the proposed 70 new constituencies reopened and their input taken into account. The new push could see the proponent of the BBI go back to making changes before sending the Bill to the IEBC.
