President Uhuru Kenyatta's role in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) process was at the centre of heated arguments at the Court of Appeal on July 2, 2021. Several parties faulted him for his involvement, sparking a debate over the legitimacy of the constitutional change process.
Lawyers representing the petitioners argued that President Kenyatta's initiation of the BBI process was a clear overreach of his powers, undermining the principles of the Constitution.
The Court of Appeal is set to deliver a ruling on the matter, which has significant implications for Kenya's political landscape.
