Kajiado became the eighth county to pass the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment Bill) 2020 even as MCAs in Vihiga lamented they had not been facilitated to carry out public participation.
In Kakamega, MCAs said they would not pass the Bill until their demands for car grants and Sh300,000 for public participation are fulfilled.
In Kajiado, 23 MCAs, against nine, voted to approve the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill.
This comes after Sonko, while speaking in Dagoretti on Sunday, claimed that together with Dr Kibicho they planned how to violently discredit ODM during demos by its supporters in 2017.
He alleged that as part of the plan, they printed ODM T-shirts, bought second-hand cars and burnt them along Ngong Road disguised as the opposition to portray the Raila Odinga-led party as violent.
Throwing him under the bus, the MCAs led by Majority Leader Abdi Guyo denounced Sonko saying he did not act at the behest of Jubilee and perpetrated the chaos on his own volition.
The Ward Representatives dared the former Makadara MP to make public the names of those he alleged were part of the “Deep State” organising the alleged violent and criminal actions.

Nairobi county assembly has approved Anne Kananu s nomination as deputy governor following successful vetting earlier in the day.
She is set to be sworn in at the KICC. This comes as activist Okiya Omtatah filed a notice to appeal the decision okaying the vetting of Anne Kananu as another petitioner filed a complaint against Justice Anthony Mrima.
The MCAs, when debating on her suitability to hold the post, said Kananu has proven integrity seeing as her three years at the county’s Disaster and Emergency Management as well as the Water dockets have not been marred by queries.
