By JUSTUS OCHIENG'More by this AuthorPresident Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have drawn up an elaborate plan to reach out to the grassroots through Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) consultative forums and rallies as the country gears up for a referendum. This follows the gazettement of the BBI team, which is expected to, among other things, ensure consultations with citizens, civil society, faith-based organisations, cultural leaders, the private sector and experts. It will then propose administrative, policy, statutory or constitutional changes that might be necessary for the implementation of their recommendations. Meanwhile, 10 governors from Mt Kenya region met on Monday to plan a meeting where they can all speak with one voice on the BBI. ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna said they were happy that the BBI team had been gazetted, and that its terms of reference had been made clear.
