It has emerged that plans are already in place to welcome the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report in Central Kenya, despite questions from some politicians from the region.
With the BBI task force set to hand over its report to President Uhuru Kenyatta any time from now, it has emerged that some politicians are already organizing meetings to welcome it.
Led by former Kangema MP Tirus Ngau, the group is already busy organizing meetings to welcome the recommendations, alongside former MPs and ex-officials of the TNA party.
The campaign began on Thursday, where the politicians held a 5-hour closed door meeting with about 100 opinion leaders to discuss the BBI agenda in Kenol Town.
However, on the same day, a group of 39 elected politicians said that they will only supoort the report if it addresses inclusivity and equitable division of revenue.
"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.
At the same time, allies of Deputy President William Ruto have vowed to crush the report.
Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju said that the fate of the report will be decided once its contents are made bare to Kenyans.
“We will wait for the report … (then) make a decision on whether to campaign for it or not," he said.
On the other hand, allies of former Premier Raila Odinga, who jointly formed the BBI and its task force after his truce with Uhuru last year, have pledged their support.
Uhuru on Friday last week insisted that he will rally behind the proposals of the BBI taskforce, in line with his pursuit for inclusivity, which he termed one of the legacies he wants to leave.
