North Rift Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya Chairman , Sheikh Abubakar Bini , on Monday while speaking to the press in Eldoret said that as long as they support the peace deal between the two, excluding their names from the 14-committee member is discriminatory. 

"We support the good intention of President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga to work together, which is aimed at uniting Kenyans irrespective of their tribal or ethnic affiliation," Bini said.

Mr Bini added that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga should re-engineer an inclusive list that will represent the face of Kenyan.

."But as it is now, the team lacks the face of Kenya in terms of religious representation as it has only representation of Christians," he said.

The committee was unveiled on Sunday, seven weeks after the two leaders held an unprecedented meeting at Harambee House to shelve their political differences after rancorous elections.

The building bridges initiative secretariat is co-chaired by ambassador Martin Kimani and lawyer Paul Mwangi.

The 14-member committee comprises: 

Busia Senator Amos Wako, Garissa Senator Mohamed Haji, Woman Representatives Maison Leshomo (Samburu) Rose Moseu (Makueni), University of Nairobi don Adams Oloo, Ms Agnes Kavindu, Ms Florence Omose, Prof Saeed Mwangumi and James Matundura.
