Parliament is set to reconvene this week for a special sitting to pass the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill.
The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020 could be passed without both Houses considering a report by the joint Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) on public views.
It has emerged that there are divisions within the committee after the membership sought more time to get expert opinion on whether they can propose amendments or the role of Parliament is ceremonial as provided for in Article 257 of the Constitution.
