    "content": "Bill. The truth must be said. This will not be the first or the last referendum. We are going to have other referenda. Having said that, I happen to be one of the promoters of the BBI Bill. We went out there and collected one million signatures and took them to the IEBC with the draft BBI Bill. The signatures were verified and the Bill was sent to the county assemblies. If 24 counties will pass the Bill, the Bill is expected to come to Parliament. After all that, somebody wakes up from his slumber and tells me that he wants to subject that Bill – a Bill that is by popular initiative from collecting one million signatures – to a multiple choice question. Why! What has stopped them from going to the public to collect one million signatures, so that they can amend the issues that are not good that the BBI Bill has proposed? The popular initiative is open to everyone. It is not open to me only. We managed to collect one million signatures for the BBI Bill, we will convince 24 counties to pass it and bring it to Parliament then take it to a referendum. We will either win or lose the referendum."
