"content": "Secondly, the referendum itself is like an election and must follow the election rules. Therefore, the electoral rules that are in the Constitution must be observed by everybody. This is because a referendum is conducted by the IEBC. Rules on electoral offenses must be adhered to. On the matter of bribery, Article 8 talks about free and fair elections free of corruption and intimidation. What we are seeing in our county discussions on this particular referendum Bill is corruption and bribery. Everybody knows that giving Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) Kshs2 million each to pass the BBI Bill is bribery and is against the law. Intimidation of MCAs who vote “No” is also against the Constitution. That is intimidation and it is expressly outlawed in Article 8 of the Constitution. I am shocked that today some Baringo County MCAs were summoned to go to Integrity Centre to answer several allegations, but we all know it is because they refused to pass that Bill."
