Thursday, April 29, 2021 -Senate Minority leader James Orengo seems to be a frustrated man in the ongoing push and pull over the BBI Draft Bill.
In his latest remarks on the floor, Orengo sensationally claimed that members of the Deep State had started fighting him following his recent reservations on the Building Bridges Initiative BBI document.
“Mr. Speaker, I am worried about the current BBI debate. How can we debate about a document we haven’t seen?
“Yesterday when I wanted to have a hard copy of the same report, I was denied by the Secretariat.
“I was told that I cannot be given the hard copy because it hasn’t been stamped. What is going on?” Orengo, who is a close ally of opposition Chief Raila Odinga stated.’
He would then go ahead to request an adjournment of the sitting upto 2PM so as to give room for the availing of the hard-copy which he said was necessary for both safety and reference of its contents.
“From my viewpoint, I request this sitting to be adjourned until 2 pm so that by that time we shall have the hardcopy of the report,” Orengo lamented.
Undecided Speaker Kenneth Lusaka after deliberations with his circle finally allowed for an adjournment upto after lunchtime.
The Siaya Senator has been on record asking the State to accept the fact that the Senate must have their input in the final BBI Bill.
He further argued that they cannot be a house to rubber-stamp documents for the Executive without having their input.
