[Courtesy]Orange Democratic Movement Leader Raila Odinga has launched his fight for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) by seeking to suspend the High Court order that stopped a constitutional referendum. Raila and the BBI Secretariat have raised 16 key issues to challenge the decision by the five High Court judges that stopped the constitutional amendment process, key being that the judges usurped the wishes of millions of Kenyans who are yearning for constitutional changes. Raila and the BBI Secretariat join the Attorney General and the IEBC who have also filed separate appeals against the High Court decision. “They failed to take note of the evidence that the BBI Constitutional Amendment process was initiated by Junet Mohamed and Dennis Waweru as co-chairs of the BBI secretariat and supported by more than three million registered voters,” said Mwangi. He added that the judges failed to correctly state who can initiate a popular constitutional amendment process.
