Emanikor said BBI is being used by some self-centred individuals for their interests.

“The BBI report does not have anything to help Turkana, Pokot, and other pastoralist communities. It will not see the light since it's dead on arrival,” said the Woman Rep who spoke in Eldoret on Saturday night during the Turkana cultural night.

“I will lobby leaders from the patrol communities to reject this animal called BBI at it is now it only about President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga and not Kenyans,” she added.

The legislator further said that as pastoral communities, they are skeptical about the referendum push by the BBI team which has nothing good to offer to the marginalized communities.

She, however, called on politicians to work for the electorates who elected them instead of involving themselves in BBI politics which has nothing to do with the electorate. 

The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) advisory task force, which was formed following the March 9, 2018 handshake between Uhuru and Raila is expected to hand over its report after it concluded its assignment.
