What you need to know:

  • By close of business on March 1, 42 county assemblies had submitted their decision to approve the draft bill.
  • DP Ruto has said constitutional changes in the BBI will not solve joblessness and other problems facing the country.

Deputy President William Ruto has asked MPs to remove contentious issues in the Constitution (Amendment) Bill that is to be taken to both Houses today.

But that will not be possible as Parliament has to pass it as it is or reject it in toto.
