What you need to know:

  • Kenyans will also go to the plebiscite to choose whether they agree with proposals to change the independence, terms of service, or abolition of some of the Chapter 15 independent commissions.
  • On the functions of Parliament, Kenyans will be asked in a plebiscite to choose whether they want a Parliament that has members of the Executive sitting in it.

Kenyans will answer four broad questions in the anticipated Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) referendum that is expected to fundamentally change the 2010 Constitution.

BBI Steering Committee joint secretary, Paul Mwangi, in an interview told the Nation, that Kenyans will be asked to vote on those issues touching on the functions of Parliament, the independence of the Judiciary and the Chapter 15 Commissions, as well as the objects, principles and structure of devolved government.
