Editor's Review

  • The leaders were the first to append their signatures in November. 
  • However, IEBC states that the verification process is not yet done. 

The names of President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Odinga are conspicuously missing from the verified BBI signatures.

An overview of the verified and published signatures by IEBC shows that the two leaders are missing despite appending their signatures first.

The two leaders officially launched the signature collection drive in November 2020.

The commission published the signatures with names of people who signed, their counties, constituency, and polling stations.

After going through the two documents, the two endorsed the BBI Constitutional (Amendment) Bill 2020 by appending their signatures. 

However, IEBC Director of Voter Education and Communication Joyce Ekuam in a statement notes that the process is not yet complete.

"The process is not yet complete...it is just interim. We are still finalizing it at the Bomas of Kenya," she said.

In the documents, there were also many duplicates with one name appearing thrice with the same ID numbers.
