The BBI secretariat co-chairs Junet Mohammed and former Dagoreti MP Dennis Waweru said they were setting up a legal team to appeal the ruling.

“We will fight to the very end for that Bill to be realized,” they said, “we will appeal the decision next week.”

The High Court five-judge bench of Joel Ngugi, George Odunga, Jairus Ngaah, Teresia Matheka and Chacha Mwita among other declarations noted that President Uhuru Kenyatta had violated the Kenyan Constitution when he initiated the process which it said it should only be done by Parliament or the citizens through a popular initiative.

The judges stabbed the president who is not the promoter of the bill and did not prohibit promoters from pursuing Constitutional Amendment. We assure Kenyans that we shall continue to promote BBI until it is ratified by Kenyans,” Junet said.
