Further, the team has also condemned proposed introduction of regional governments, which are being fronted by governors.

In the last Building Bridges Initiative rallies, a section of governors pushed for the creation of the regional governments, a scheme that could give them space to serve.

Rigathi Gachagua, the Mathira MP, said such a move would burden Kenyans unnecessarily, adding that the it should be rejected.

“We reject this proposal to create regional governments and other political positions that are likely to burden Kenyans. What mwananchi needs is market for farm produce,” he added.

And his Soy counterpart Caleb Kositany said the country was in support of BBI, but warned that there were plans to create another version.

“One BBI faction is led by ODM and is for the creation and expansion of the executive. The other one is Jubilee and is for poverty alleviation, wealth creation and jobs generation for the youths,” said Kositany.

The ODM party is said to be also fronting the positions, although ODM leader Raila Odinga has not publicly spoken about such plans.
