Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has faulted a section of politicians who have been bashing and criticising the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
The initiative and its 14-member task force was formed by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM boss Raila Odinga with the intention of coming up with solutions to Kenya's recurrent problems.
With the task force set to table its report before October after crisscrossing all the 47 counties, Kuria wants Uhuru to make its content public once it is released.
He said on Sunday that it's only then that the critics will be justified to attack it, as they are now doing it unaware of what it contains, and how it might be of benefit to Kenyans.
The lawmaker said that he personally believes the BBI report could have some necessary proposals but will be among its opposers if it intends to create additional top positions.
“We want the President to table the document there (Kasarani) so that people can know what it contains. I believe it has things that will help generations to come. We will only reject it if it proposes [the creation of] posts for politicians,” he said at the Maua Stadium in Meru county.
On the other hand, he poured cold water in the rival Punguza Mizigo bill which is currently before the county assemblies, as it seeks to reduce elective seats for a lighter tax burden.
Under the leadership of Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot, the bill seeks to reduce the number of MPs and scrap Woman Representative and Deputy Governor posts.
Kuria opposed the bill, saying that he will actually campaign against it as it is a negative for Kenyans.
“It proposes that each county [should have] two MPs. Meru, which currently has 10 MPs will have two, same as Lamu which already has two constituencies,” he added.
