Taking to Twitter, Waiguru said that parliament passing the Bill by 73 percent means that the BBI speaks for itself.
“235 votes for BBI, against 83 ... a whooping 73%.... as the lawyers say, Res ipsa loquitur - The thing speaks for itself... #BBIbill,” wrote the Governor.
The Bill won the approval of a majority of the members of parliament (MPs) in both the Second Reading and Third Reading.
