As part of his wider strategy to keep anti-BBI report members off guard, President Uhuru Kenyatta has reportedly reached out to his lieutenants, cautioning them to go slow.
This, a source says, will help tame their growing opposition to the report, a move that will completely neutralise their efforts to 'incite' the public before the report is out.
BBI team is set to officially handover the report to Uhuru and Raila Odinga next week, after which the details will be made public for a debate.
Uhuru is said to have also instructed his team to start grassroot mobilisation without publicity, arguing that it will prepare Kenyans for the impending changes.
“We will exercise patience. We will wait for the report. After reading it we believe we will have a chance to critique and make suggestions where possible.
"Based on what the report says or recommends, we will make a decision on whether to campaign for it or not,” Jubilee Secretary-General Raphael Tuju said.
ODM leader Raila Odinga is also said to have cautioned his troops against discussing the report until it's officially unveiled by him and the president.
However, to collaborate Uhuru's strategy, Raila also asked his team to prepare for nation wide campaigns once the report is tabled.
But despite fear that Deputy President William Ruto will oppose the report, the DP came out guns blazing on Saturday, accusing the media of spreading gossip about his stand.
"DILEMMA?Hapana!No way! Jubilee as a democratic party celebrates diversity of opinion free of hate and focused on transformation for all; for us big or small matters BUT ultimately as initiators of inclusive non-tribal political discourse we will stand behind our Party and Leader," Ruto tweeted.
Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu, a proponent of BBI, has instructively gone slow on the matter, perhaps in compliance with the president's directive.
