Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has thrown a jab at President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Amolo Odinga ahead of their tour in Kakamega.
In a tweet on Friday, Khalwale lamented that the two leaders denied leaders from the region a chance to speak on the plight of cane farmers and other critical issues affecting them on Mashujaa Day.
He argued that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report cannot be sold in Mt Kenya region because it does not highlight the real issues facing the people of Kenya.
He opined that the duo is forcing the report on the people of this nation, adding that they will receive a shocker of a lifetime sooner than later.
“President Uhuru & Raila, at the 2018 Kakamega Mashujaa Day u blocked us from speaking & lied to our people about the revival of the sugar industry. U are coming again to lecture us on the divisive BBI which u ain't able to sell in Mt. Kenya. Our people see no stake in it. Go away,” he tweeted.
Uhuru and Raila are set to tour the region together as a debate on the implementation of the report continues.
The allies of the Deputy President William Ruto have not been fully behind the report on suspicion that Raila wants to use the same to block him from power.
During the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) at the Bomas of Kenya, the allies of the second in command lamented that they were denied a chance to speak yet Uhuru and Raila claim they want to unite the nation.
