He spoke on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha.
Lusaka further lauded the ongoing validation process through the regional BBI forums, observing that by so doing, Kenyans can approve the proposals and introduce more.
However, he stressed on the need for inclusion of all Kenyans, especially now that a section of leaders questioning the campaign, citing isolation and possible hidden motives.
He added that nobody is opposed to the changes, and those vocal against it are just trying to push for better handling of the push.
"Nobody is opposed to the BBI, those complaining just feel that it has excluded them or think that it is targeting someone (Hakuna mtu anapinga BBI, wale wanalalamika ni kwa sababu wanaona haiwajumuishi, na kwa sababu hiyo wanaona huenda ikawa inalenga kuumiza mtu fulani)," he added.
