Ruto answers back as Uhuru digs in over BBIDeputy President William Ruto. Ruto’s allies have been dismissive of both the handshake and BBI, describing them as exclusive ventures of a few. “As a democratic society the proposals by BBI will be subjected to an open national conversation where every voice (the weak/strong, the small/big) will be heard,” Ruto tweeted yesterday. The BBI, Ruto has said repeatedly, should ask the opposition leader what he needs to be changed in the Constitution for him to accept the outcome of elections. Notably, Ruto’s attack on the opposition leader’s role in the BBI task force cleverly avoids his boss’s position in the initiative.
