Moses Kuria reveals what he’ll do if Supreme Court passes BBI
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has weighed in on the BBI ruling set to be released today by the Supreme Court, noting that if a positive verdict is delivered, he will back the constitution amendment push.
According to Kuria, the ruling will provide clarity in regards to proposals made by BBI proponents regarding various issues including introduction of new positions in the executive.
“The problem with BBI was never solely the substance; it was the process. The net effect of the Supreme Court ruling today will be a remedy to all the process maladies. If the SC rules in favour of BBI, that will cleanse the process. I will be at the forefront in pushing for immediate implementation,” he posted on Facebook.
Kuria’s statement marks a change of heart as he is one of the leaders who boldly rejected the BBI Bill, arguing that Kenyans should not be subjected to a referendum before the 2022 general election.
