Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has asked Kenyans not to be misled in the ongoing debate on the implementation of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday in Nairobi, Mudavadi said that the leaders calling for a referendum as well as those opposed to the same are missing the point.
He faulted the BBI task force for not setting the modalities on which the report was supposed to be implemented.
"I caution Kenyans not to fall, a victim of the alleged pro - parliament, and pro-referendum insincere calls by some leaders," he tweeted.
"Instead of Building Bridges, people are dismantling them. We are seeing people jumping to the conclusion that are you pro-parliament or are you pro-referendum again they are missing the point because if you look at the terms of reference of the BBI."
"They were also tasked to bring out the modalities of implementing the modalities of their report. Let alone before we agree on the content but the issue of implementation. It is so obvious that there are those issues that require a simple parliamentary process and there are others that may call for a referendum but the way the debate is going around we are making the same mistakes," he added.
A section of Jubilee politicians, some allied to Deputy President Willaim Ruto are opposed to a referendum.
Instead, they are proposing that the report be tabled in Parliament and be implemented. However, this has been opposed by another faction with the opposition led by Raila Odinga who insist that a referendum is the way to go.
