Kigano: BBI Bill was popular initiative, won t be amended

THE STANDARD POLITICS Justice and Legal Affairs Committee Chairman Kigano Muturi [David Njaaga,Standard] The National Assembly’s Legal Affairs Committee Chairperson Muturi Kigano has allayed fears that a joint Parliamentary Committee will introduce major amendments to the BBI Bill. Kigano, who co-chairs the joint committee with Nyamira Senator Okongo Omogeni, which is currently going through the Constitutional Amendment Bill after parliamentary public participation, said this is despite hiring two experts to help them wade through the constitutional amendment framework. He said MPs cannot amend the Bill since it was a popular initiative emanating from the people. “Amending the BBI Bill would offend Article 257 of the Constitution, which explains the process of referendum proposal by means of popular initiative,” he said yesterday.
