Duale Fires Shots at BBI Proponents

Garissa Township MP Aden Duale now wants the proponents of the overruled Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) to account for the billions of shillings spent in the constitutional amendment process.

“Now that the Supreme Court has put the final nail on the BBI Bill, we must ask the difficult ensuing questions relating to the whole process,” Duale said.

“One of which is that huge amounts of public funds and resources totalling an estimated Ksh20 billion were used on the BBI process which illegality now stinks to the highest heavens,” he added.

The former National Assembly majority leader said that the Auditor-general should move with speed, audit and report on all the accounts of the BBI Steering Committee and Taskforce on Implementation of the BBI.

He said the Auditor general should also confirm whether public funds were allocated to the entities and how it was spent.

The legislator’s sentiments come after the Supreme Court judges laid the final nail on the constitutional change process.
