Deputy President William Ruto on Saturday asked for Kenyans to be given time to read, understand, and express their views on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report once its out.
Dr Ruto who was speaking at Muraga Technical Training Institute in Tharaka Nithi County claimed Kenyans should comprehend the content of the report so as to make a sensible decision on whether to support it or not.
He further pointed out that Kenyans should not be forced to accept the much-awaited report which will be released on November 26.
“This BBI thing must be a smooth process where all Kenyans are involved. Their views must be respected,” Dr Ruto said as quoted by Nation.
He also applauded President Uhuru Kenyatta for assuring Kenyans that their opinion on the BBI report will count.
According to Dr Ruto, neither the BBI report nor the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) politicians will shake him.
The Deputy President took the chance to hit out at his critics who had raised concern over his tours around the country.
“My name was in the ballot and those getting jittery because of my frequent tour of various parts of the country should know that I was elected alongside President (Kenyatta) and I will be put to task by Kenyans if we will not deliver as we promised,” Ruto noted.
