On August 20, 2021, the Court of Appeal delivered a landmark judgement nullifying the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). The seven-judge bench upheld the High Court ruling, declaring the BBI null and void.
Deputy President William Ruto has reacted to the ruling, thanking his Heavenly Father for salvaging Kenya from the proposed Constitutional changes.
"God, our Heavenly Father, has come through for Kenya and stopped the coalition of the known, the mighty, and the powerful from destroying our Constitution," Ruto tweeted.
He further expressed hope that the alliance of the unknown, the jobless, the hustlers, and struggling farmers would now engineer the economy from the bottom up.
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator, Kipchumba Murkomen, congratulated the judges, advocates, appellants, respondents, and all those who contributed to the success of the process.
"In the end, Kenya has won. Justice Be Our Shield and Defender. God bless Kenya and God bless us all," Murkomen said.
