Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua has questioned the delay in printing copies of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Constitutional Amendment Bill.
Karua said failure to avail copies of the document to Kenyans could be part of a scheme by BBI proponents to sneak in mischievous clauses ahead of the referendum.
“The independence constitution was mutilated multiple times by the ruling elite until it became unrecognizable, the 2010 constitution is similarly under threat of being cannibalized through unconstitutional means,” Karua said through Twitter.
“One of the reasons copies of the proposed constitutional amendments bill are not being availed we suspect is to facilitate sneaking in of mischievous clauses as the referendum approaches.”
The Senior Counsel further indicated that the country is experiencing many challenges such as hunger and broken health and education systems, stating that BBI cannot be a priority.
“Millions of Kenyans are hungry and at risk of starvation if adequate measures are not taken urgently. This is one priority where we must direct all available resources not to mention our broken health and education systems,” Karua said.
She noted that it is unconstitutional for promoters of BBI to expect Kenyans to pass the Bill without reading it.
“Expecting people to endorse what they have not seen is not only a violation of the constitution but also usurpation of people’s voice and power to make informed choices.”
Kenya will head to referendum by June this year after more than 24 county assemblies endorsed the BBI Bill, surpassing the constitutional threshold. So far, 42 assemblies have passed the Bill while two—Baringo and Nandi—rejected it.

@larry – what is the marginal propensity in regard to the expensive cost of the BBI as you wish to put it? And where do you grade yourself in this googled aristocracy you are throwing out to sound like a technocrat rat – low, middle, or top of your un-graduated measuring rod?

Reports from Italy say that their parliament has passed a law to decrease the number of MPs and senators by 1/3 to cut the country’s expenditure yet hungry billionaire Kenyans want to approve their gods/owners plan for additional 100 MPs.Swali ni -JE KWANINI waKENYA WENGI HUTUMIAGA MAKAMASI BADALA YA AKILI?

Martha karua i believe you have a copy of the said bbi document which you pupport that not every kenyan has received a copy.With your high positioning in the society as a leader and a lawyer who is not a miser why dont you take the initiative of finding those copies of bbi and be providing to those you think dont have it instead of giving us empty donkey farts.
No, no @Julias njau. You’re…
No, no @Julias njau. You’re very wrong on this one. Billions of shillings of our taxes were spent by BBI committee loitering around the nation capturing the wananchi’s opinion on the BBI. If Martha Karua come up with copies of BBI report, they can claim that she is giving people fake BBI reports. Besides, the duty to pass on the authentic final report to the people rests with the proponents/sponsors of BBI.

Baloney @whatchmacallyou – wandemengeleti! – Is the best possible way to describe your naive reasoning. Both you and Karua are just opportunists and day dreamers!!
Karua is a major part of all…
Karua is a major part of all the problems Kenyans have lived through for several years. As a fake lawyer cam conny politician, she is now talking a good game to hoodwink the same Kenyans she has deceived over the past several years. History has already judged Karua wrong on everything she initially stood for, and she is no longer the “Iron Lady” for the poor! She is merely out there for herself (me, myself and I kind of thing), and to maintain some unknown relevance with the system!
Interestingly the BBI…
Interestingly the BBI referendum signature forms made it the most remote villages in Kenya at warp speed. Martha and Kenyans of goodwill have reason to worry. Kwanini BBI report inafichwa? What are they hiding from the masses?
Karua has no bone of…
Karua has no bone of goodwill for Kenya in her @mumbi! Too much irrelevant nonsensical talk from her verbal dhiarrhearing mouth! How do you folks get conned by this woman? She has done more damage to Kenya than any other living politician except DP Ruto! Give us a damn break!
Karua is just an expired…
Karua is just an expired article of no particular commercial value to the Republic of Kenya and its people. Period!!
You’all whether you support…
You’all whether you support or oppose bbi, print the report freely available online or share with others in social media just stay informed, Your ability to stay informed rests with you. Stop being lazy and looking for excuses. Karua you are a disgrace, not for being against bbi, but being so fake and a turn coat on democracy. Why did you swear kibaki in the middle of the night? In an election he never won?Lest we forget?
Let Kenyans decide BBI or no…
Let Kenyans decide BBI or no BBI Kenyan have to pay their bills and struggle as they have done since the colonial era only time will tell if BBI was worth it
All the opposition cowards are quiet tale between their legs
