The Star has established that the pro-BBI forces are exploring starting a fresh process in Parliament to salvage what they see as progressive proposals. President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM chief Raila Odinga are determined to have the Court of Appeal overturn a five-judge bench ruling that blocked the BBI process. The High Court declared the BBI process to amend the Constitution as unconstitutional, null and void. “For now, we are focusing on the court process, expedite it and ensure we get away with it as quickly as possible,” Waweru said. Ndaragwa MP Jeremia Kioni who chairs the parliamentary Constitution Implementation Oversight committee has said nothing stops Parliament from bringing back BBI through a parliamentary initiative.
