Ms Waiguru, a proponent of the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, held talks with the latter on Tuesday.

In an interview with the Nation, the former Devolution minister said there will be civic campaigns on the BBI report before the real process starts.

After that, she said, the team will collect a million signatures and convert the proposals into a bill which will be submitted to Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for verification.

“The IEBC then takes it to county assemblies, where we need at least half the counties to pass the bill,” she disclosed.

After approval by at least 24 county assemblies, the proponents of the drive according to Ms Waiguru now agree that it can then be taken to the National Assembly, where the threshold for approval will now be easy.

“We will only need 50 per cent of those present (in Parliament) to pass it. That way, a referendum will not be necessary,” added Ms Waiguru.

After that, she added, the proponents will weigh whether or not to proceed to a referendum. She said people's involvement is necessary.

The first-term governor has been pushing for the implementation of the report which she says is a milestone to the women.
