Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot has weighed in on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, a day after it was unveiled and handed to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
While majority of politicians have backed the suggestions in the document, the former presidential aspirant has questioned its ability to save the nation from it's troubles.
In a tweet on Wednesday, he termed it a collection of street talk which lacks a solid basis, adding that it only seeks to weaken constitutional institutions, which might prove dangerous.
He claimed the report brings nothing new to Kenyans, adding that the BBI proponents have wasted billions of taxpayer's money.
"BBI report is a collection of street talks tailor-made to create chaos by weakening constitutional institutions. There is no new thinking. It's also lifting of aspects of the #PunguzaMizigoBill2019. What a waste of billions of taxpayers money," he said.
He personally took issue with the recommendation to remove the current Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) team, and bring on board a new national poll team before the 2022 polls.
He opined that this could be a plot to allow the political class to pick their preferred people to the commission, which he termed constitutionally backward.
"National cohesion and inclusivity still a mirage even with all the hullabaloo of BBI Report. Kenya has 66 political parties; how can they select IEBC commissioners? So, the players in a game must now chose the referee? What a claw back on constitutional gains!" he added.
Aukot is also leading a separate constitutional amendment push dubbed the Punguza Mizigo Initiative, which he has said will be making a second attempt after its first rejection.
