When you will sing the BBI with the President, we will be there,” he said. At least 320 of the 349 members participated in the vote at the second stage where 235 supported the bill, 83 for No while two abstained. Lunga Lunga MP Khatib Mwashetani, who was a key figure in the Feisal campaign, also voted in support of the BBI bill. Political observers also say the take by Kilgoris MP Gideon Konchella and Chepalungu’s Gideon Koske spoke volumes, though the latter has been leaning towards the BBI. Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro called out those who supported the bill, saying they were ‘cowards, traitors, and sell-outs.’
