Professor Makau Mutua has thrown a jab at Senator Majority Leader Kipchumba after he said that he is fully behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report implementation.
In reply to a tweet on Saturday in which Murkomen supported the BBI, Makua said that Murkomen has proven that he can support anyone fronted by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Amolo Odinga.
He noted that the BBI report should not be considered as two-men affair since it affects all Kenyans. He affirmed that time has come for the President and Raila to give Kenyans room to decide what they want for themselves.
“I am flummoxed you’ll pass WHATEVER Kenyatta and Odinga agree on. That’s undemocratic. It’s a head fake which smacks of sycophancy and dereliction of the Senate’s role as an independent deliberative body. The BBI process isn’t a two-person affair. Let all Kenyans decide,” he made a reply to Murkomen.
Speaking during the funeral of Dorcas Ajwang', mother to Senator Moses Kajwang' and Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang' Murkomen asked Uhuru and Raila to show them the way. He noted that they will gladly follow their route.
"Let Raila and Uhuru tell us if it is a parliamentary system or presidential system that they want instead of taking Kenyans round in circles. Hon Raila, you and the President have numbers in Parliament to ensure what you want can pass in Parliament but it is unpleasant to take Kenyans round and round with this BBI report," he stated.
