The push to change the constitution has run into new headwinds after MPs demanded to be allowed to make amendments to certain proposals. 

A joint legal committee of the two Houses, which is populated by allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, is said to be pushing for parliamentary changes to the BBI Bill.
