Politicians allied to the tanga tanga faction of the Jubilee party have come out to express their views on the Building Bridges Initiative set to be revealed on Monday, 26th October.
Jubilee Deputy Secretary General Caleb Kositany reprimanded President Uhuru and Raila Odinga over the mission to unite themselves instead of the whole nation.
“According to president Uhuru BBI is about uniting’s, his brother Raila has missed the point by a mile. Why launch BBI with so much venom. Raila pungusa hasira… Ni yetu sisi zote.(Raila tone down your anger, The BBI is for all of us)
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator laughed off the idea of having two senators, saying the proponents have completely misunderstood the whole idea of devolution.
“Those proposing two senators per county do not understand the place of devolution and Senate in our Constitutional architecture and the principle of equality of counties. Every county has only one VOTE in Senate, what will two senators be doing? DELETE!”.
Vocal Homa Bay County women rep Gladys Wanga emphasized on the need to maintain the National agenda and downplayed tribal politics.
“Raila’s arrogance about BBI reggae in Kisii notwithstanding, a “robust national conversation that brings everybody on board” as eloquently espoused by the DP in his speech can not be avoided. Failure to which BBI will go on a permanent halfterm.” said Wanga.
All eyes will be on the Handshake duo, President Uhuru Kenyatta and former prime minister Raila Odinga as the state prepares to launch the Building Bridges Initiative report (BBI) at Bomas of Kenya.
