The push for constitutional changes should be left to statesmen not interested in political seats, nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has proposed.
This comes at a time when the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) push, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, appears to have been taken over by politicians.
The senator says that such should be left to people who are only interested in the nation's well being and not those who will use them to achieve their future political goals.
In an interview on Radio Jambo on Saturday, he stated that BBI push is going the opposite way, as the involved groups are turning it into a contest between themselves.
"The BBI needs statesmen not interested in political seats but when it turns into a contest between this person and the other it becomes hypocrisy. (BBI inahitaji statesmen ambao hawataki viti lakini inapokuwa ni huyu versus huyu inakuwa ni unafiki)," he said.
The vocal legislator also stated that the push is coming out as political warfare between specific groups of politicians, as a result dividing Kenyans instead of uniting them.
He said that others, in an apparent reference to those in support of the BBI, have weaponized the push and are using it to isolate and fight others.
"There is one problem; others are using it as a weapon against their rivals (Shida ya BBI ni moja, kuitumia kama silaha ya kuelekezea wale wapinzani wako)," noted the senator.
The BBI debate is currently being seen as a faceoff between the Raila-Uhuru axis against the other side led by Deputy President William Ruto, who has not been consistent on his stand.
