National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi also rejected three other county assembly submissions on the BBI referendum Bill which did not meet the threshold.
"At this moment it is difficult to determine whether Nyamira county assembly received the correct bill and amended it," he stated concerning both Nyamira and Kwale county.
