Ruto's name missing from BBI signature drive launch
Nov 26, 2020
Deputy President William Ruto is not among the leaders lined up to speak during the launch of the referendum Bill and national signature collection drive.
This is according to the programme of the event being held today at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.
Already behind schedule, guests were expected to be seated at the KICC COMESA grounds by 9:30 am.
At 10 am, President Uhuru Kenyatta and the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta were to be escorted by Nairobi Regional Commissioner James Kianda to the venue.
The ceremony is expected to begin with both the National and East African community anthem whereafter there will be prayers.
Thereafter, a video presentation and signature ceremony are to follow.
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be the first to sign to the BBI form in the format that was okayed by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) yesterday.
Raila appending of the signature will be followed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speeches will then follow with Raila Odinga taking to the podium and thereafter inviting the president to make his address.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is then expected to present the BBI booklets to the regional coordinators.
A national Anthem will cap the event.
The launch of the signature collection was initially scheduled for Thursday last week but was postponed, with the Secretariat citing late completion and publication of The Constitution Amendment Bill 2020 by the Government Printer.
