No BBI, No Election! Say Atwoli
COTU Sec-Gen Francis Atwoli now says that if the BBI does not see the light of day, then the union will appeal to Parliament to extend the president’s term by one more year.

While speaking in Nakuru on Thursday, Atwoli said the 2022 elections should be postponed until the Building Bridges Initiative is passed, adding that they will be forced to use different avenues in the judicial system available if the Court of Appeal does not approve of it.
“If they don’t give us a ruling we will move to the Supreme Court and if we still don’t get it we will have to start afresh and we will appeal through our parliamentarians to extend the elections by even one year until we get BBI,” said Atwoli.
Atwoli maintains that next year’s general elections should not be held until the constitutional reforms proposed in the BBI are approved, noting that the initiative is the only remedy that will ensure the polls are peaceful.
The High Court stopped the move to amend the 2010 Constitution through BBI in a ruling that was critical of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
