The unexpected appearance of ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula temporarily caused confusions among organisers.
Initially, the two leaders had decried lack of involvement in the entire process, hinting the possibility of attending another rally in Mumias.
But eventually, they showed up in the meeting, causing confusion among those who were in charge of protocol, Standard reports.
Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, who was the MC for the better time of the event, was forced to change course later on.
According to Standard, Wetangula refused to speak before governors, forcing the entire process to be changed. The two later spoke before Francis Atwoli, Eugene Wamalwa and Raila Odinga.
“We don’t want to see the BBI meetings turn violent, we want the BBI Secretariat to do its work and get Kenyans along,” said Mudavadi.
The ANC leader said to achieve inclusivity, there ought to be a constitutional commitment by the government to put in place rescue interventions in sectors such as agriculture across all regions.
“In Western region, sugarcane and maize farmers deserve stimulus guaranteed returns just like tea, coffee and milk in other regions,” he said.
Wetangula openly castigated organisers, pointing out intentional malice to seclude some leaders from the BBI process.
