The former Prime Minister and his ODM brigade have joined forces with Jubilee’s Kieleweke faction in supporting the referendum. Deputy President William Ruto, who has been marginalised, has said he has no problem with a referendum. The National Assembly is yet to conclude debate on the Referendum Bill, key legislation that must be in place to guide implementation of the plebiscite. There are challenges that will come with the awaited BBI report, which could see some Kenyans move to court. Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Shollei concurred, saying tight timeliness will make it impossible to have the referendum this year.
