Since the launch of the BBI report and subsequently the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, some of the political pundits, legal scholars, leaders and academicians have argued that the BBI draft bill may not require approval and enactment through a referendum.
The Constitution of Kenya, 2010, is explicit that a proposed amendment to the Constitution shall be enacted and approved by a referendum if the amendment in a bill relates to the supremacy of the Constitution, territory of Kenya, the sovereignty of the people, the national values and principles of governance, the Bill of Rights; the term of office of the president and the independence of the Judiciary and the commissions and independent offices to which Chapter 15 applies. Others are the functions of Parliament, the objects, principles and structure of devolved government or the provisions of Chapter 16.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati has asked Thirdway Alliance Kenya to resolve their differences and present one candidate for the Nairobi Gubernatorial position.
This comes after embattled Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot dismissed assertions that exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna was the party s flag bearer in the upcoming Nairobi County gubernatorial by-elections slated for February 18, 2021.
The commission noted it had received a letter on Sunday, December 27, from party heads, Secretary-General Fredrick Okango and Executive Director General Andrew Njoroge nominating Miguna for the position.
