DP Ruto has called on leaders to reach consensus on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) instead of dividing Kenyans further through a referendum. Speaking in Kangema Constituency on Friday, Ruto said the issues raised in the report will unite Kenyans if they are passed through a countrywide consensus. “All the issues raised in the BBI can be passed if we settle and discuss together and walk together, not dividing Kenyans through a referendum,” DP Ruto said. The second-in-command also scoffed at several leaders who he accused of politicizing the BBI with the aim of looting public coffers. The DP said the only way to unite Kenyans is to have a national constitution consensus, arguing that Kenyans will be more divided if the country is polarized by BBI politics.
