The Deputy President Dr William Ruto has asked leaders to stop using BBI to divide the country noting that BBI was not an outfit for a given party, individual rather a process for all Kenyans.
Ruto was speaking on Thursday afternoon at the Mowlem Supa Loaf Primary school hosted by the Embakasi West Mp George Theuri, four areas members of county assembly (MCAs) and in a company of Langata Mp Nixon Korir and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria among other leaders.
The DP had toured the area to launch a number of national government projects done by the area Mp, that included; the opening of autism block at Buruburu 1 primary school and swimming pool at Umoja 1 Primary school among others.
Ruto promised to address the issue of land in the area as most residents do not own the title deeds. In addition, he said the issue of water shortage, sewerage and completion of the road to connect the area will be a priority when he returns with the President Uhuru.
"We are backing BBI not because we have been invited by anybody, we are not visitors in Kenya, we are not refugees. You are inviting us as who? You have no power. We are Kenyans and BBI is our process," Ruto said.
He cautioned politicians that had ruled TangaTanga team as anti-BBI to be on the lookout as they are in full wing behind the BBI.
"We are participating in BBI because the Bomas BBI report was accepted by the Kenyans. We have seen a number of politicians that want to hijack the process to abuse us and advance their political push and sharing powers," Ruto remarked.
"Leaders should stop discriminating on who to attend the meetings. BBI is not for the rich when you share powers and divide seats among yourselves; do youth think the hustlers will get opportunity. We want BBI to accommodate even the hustlers to get their share," he added.
He retaliated that BBI should include ordinary Kenyans, by addressing their issues such as job and economic opportunities, instead of it being about position and power play.
"We won't allow BBI to be about sharing position and powers, accommodating peoples of status. It must be about every Kenyan irrespective of their position," Ruto said.
Moses Kuria echoed Ruto's sentiments arguing that those who thought they got a short cut to 2022 succession politics they are in a rude shock and urged leaders to go home once their tenure expires instead of clinging to power.
"When they move in Mombasa we shall be there, when they loiter in Kisumu, we share be there...Today Baba has told me he is read to go home. Let him go home in respect and never to return back," Kuria took a swipe a former PM Raila Odinga.
