Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi's reaction after the Building Bridges Initiative Bill was annulled on Thursday has elicited mixed reactions among Kenyans.
Mudavadi faced a backlash after he lauded the apex court for upholding the invalidity of the Constitutional Amendment Bill 2020.
In his statement on Thursday, March 31, Musalia stated that the determination by the seven-judge bench was a win for Kenyans.
Mudavadi congratulated the Supreme Court judges for what he termed the bold decision, which essentially puts a stop to the BBI reggae.
Mudavadi Wacha miambile.

A section of Kenyans, however, called out the Kenya Kwanza co-principal recalling that he was among those who spearheaded the initiative, having appended his signature on the bill.
Some of them retraced images of the ANC boss promoting the bill.
"Mudavadi the BBI Reggae you are denouncing has your signature!," Alinur Mohamed, a Nairobi-based politician stated.
Hypocrisy of the highest order. We are not fools. What were you appending your signature for? pic.twitter.com/oqNpmb1VQU

"The same man who was at Bomas and appended his signature now celebrating the verdict of the court," Sedric Ikhokoro stated.
They also cited his attendance at the BBI report launch at the Bomas of Kenya in 2019.
Mudavadi was among the leaders who appended their signatures at KICC last year as the BBI proposers launched the collection of signatures.
