The Building Bridges Initiative secretariate has asked the courts to consider the mood of the public in its ruling on the pending cases challenging the initiative. In a statement on Wednesday, BBI secretariate co-chair Dennis Waweru and his counterpart Junet Mohamed said that the case is the only barrier between the initiative and the referendum. The secretariate has hoped that the courts will allow Kenyans to have their final say on the proposed constitutional amendments through a national referendum. The secretariate has also lauded Members of the National Assembly and Senators for voting for the Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2020 unanimously. The secretariate has also called upon IEBC to get ready for a fair, free and transparent referendum.
