The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) push is more of a political weapon set to be used in the approaching 2022 general elections, political analyst Dismas Mokua maintains.
The push, whose main aim is influencing constitutional amendments before the 2022 polls is headed by allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM boss Raila Odinga.
Mokua now says that contrary to what it should stand for, including the betterment of Kenyan lives, the push is coming out as a power clinching plot for 2022.
Speaking on Sunday, he said that this was clearly manifested during the BBI forum in Kisii on Friday, where leaders present only addressed things to do with political seats.
"BBi is now a political weapon for 2022 because if you look at the Kisii event, there was no economic message, only the positions," he said on KTN's Inside Politics show.
He stressed on the need for the pro-BBI side to be inclusive in its push, and be ready to embrace others, including those being seen as fighting the push, alongside their opinions.
The commentator stated that the initiative should build bridges, and not be used to divide Kenyans.
"The key organizers need to take into consideration what other players have said. Like for instance, the Deputy President (William Ruto) has said that it should be all inclusive," he added.
Ruto has for long been seen as the enemy if the campaign, and has been blowing hot and cold on the issue, even as its supporters push for a referendum mode of implementation.
