With the political class involved in a heated debate on the way forward for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report), details indicate that a technical committee has already been secretly set up to decide the same.
The Star reports that the team includes some members of the BBI task force team, which proposed a series of changes in the constitution in a document launched last Wednesday.
The committee reportedly held its second meeting at a hotel in Nairobi's Kilimani area on Wednesday.
This comes as an apparent bid by forces pushing for a referendum implementation, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, to force for a referendum.
It's the two who also founded the BBI in March 2018.
Uhuru confirmed his support for a referendum in Mang'u on Wednesday, where he urged Kenyans not to be swayed by anti-referendum politicians and personally take their stand on the issue.
"Every time they come, it is just lecturing you on what you should do. You are the ones who know what you will do and I know Kenyan people want peace and unity and that their money is used in a way that benefits mwananchi,” he said as quoted by the Star.
The formation of the committee, according to Star, has not been taken well by politicians pushing for a parliamentary implementation of the BBI recommendations, who are questioning the speed at which it had been established.
Raila's support for the referendum is already well known, given that his party has even declared that it will not accept any other avenue.
