A political crisis is looming in Mt Kenya region for the first time in as many decades, with the Building Bridges Initiative report being the contentious issue.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are expected to receive the report next week. The BBI team finalised the content on Wednesday ready for handover.
But Mt Kenya politicians are increasingly getting divided, with Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru now promising fireworks.
On Thursday, a host of politicians from the region vowed to oppose the report, arguing that Parliamentary system will disadvantage them.
“The need for inclusivity must address all the areas with regards to leadership, representation, resource allocation and structure of government,” said Ndaragua MP Jeremiah Kioni.
But Waiguru, a close ally of President Uhuru Kenyatta, said the report will be endorsed, adding that he's ready to mobilise Mt Kenya residents.
Governor Waiguru said: “start popularising it once called upon.”
Her sentiments have been supported by a host of leaders, who insist that the BBI report is important for the country to prosper.
Jubilee secretary-general Raphael Tuju said: “We will wait for the report … (then) make a decision on whether to campaign for it or not.”
ODM secretary-general Edwin Sifuna said: “We will comb through the report to see the proposals that Kenyans have made.”
