Here’s How Your Senator Voted as BBI Bill Sails Through in Senate

After a protracted back and forth among Senators on whether the BBI bill should be amended, the Senate on Tuesday finally approved the contentious Constitution Amendment Bill (2020).

A total of 51 senators voted in favour of the Building Bridges Initiative(BBI) while 12 opposed and one abstained.

The approval effectively paves the way for the next phase of implementation through a national referendum.

Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka will now retreat to correct typographical errors in the Bill before transmitting it to President Uhuru Kenyatta for assent.

Before assenting to the Constitution Amendment Bill (2020), President Kenyatta shall request the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct, within ninety days, a national referendum for approval of the Bill.
