What you need to know:

  • IEBC, once it verifies and approves the signatures, will send the Bill to the 47 county assemblies for their consideration.
  • If at least 24 counties approve the Bill, it will head to both Houses of Parliament, after which it will go to President Uhuru Kenyatta for assent.

The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Secretariat has collected two million signatures and projects to hit five million by Friday.

Secretariat co-chairman Dennis Waweru said they have already collected two million signatures in support of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020, more than half of the required 1 million by the electoral commission to approve the Bill.
