Moses Kuria’s prediction on Counties that will Pass and Reject BBI
Moses Kuria’s prediction has sparked wild reaction among his followers

In a Post seen by Pulse Live, Kuria argues that a total of 22 counties will endorse the BBI bill, while 25 counties will say no to the bill.
Despite putting out his predication, the legislator warned that his analysis is not final and anybody with a contradictory opinion should create his or her own list.
However, his sentiments elicited wild reactions among his followers, with a section calling him out for using inappropriate language towards fellow leaders.
Counties that have adopted BBI
Others said that his prediction lacked facts and therefore it shouldn’t be taken serious.
Kuria’s sentiments come at a time 3 counties (Homa Bay, Siaya and Kisumu) have already adopted the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill.
The Bill requires the approval of at least 24 county assemblies before it is forwarded to parliament.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati submitted the draft Bill to the 47 counties for debate on January 26, 2021.
