Political analyst Edward Kisiang'ani has said that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) constitutional amendment push must finally go through the parliament, whichever way it's taken.
Already, there seems to be an agreement among politicians, after the opposers, led by Deputy President William Ruto, said that they no longer have an issue with the proposed referendum.
But Kisiang'ani says that whichever way is used to look into the document, the parliament, which the pro-referendum group has been trying to avoid, must be involved.
"Over the past few days, various political groups have met to start examining the BBI project. This is great. But remember whether you go by the referendum option or the Parliamentary way make no mistake: Parliament must play a major role to enable the process to succeed," he said in a tweet Saturday.
Immediately after its release, a section of politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto insisted that the same be followed by a speedy implementation through the parliament.
After a spirited fight from the other side, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, the group seems.to have made a U-turn, with a section on Friday declaring that they will heed Uhuru's advise.
Initially, they argued that a referendum will further divide Kenyans and drain the already limited finances.
