The deputy president had gone for an empowerment programme for the boda boda operators. While lashing at those questioning his hustler movement, Ruto said his joy was that the movement has sparked a national dialogue. It has always been the rich against the poor where they want to create positions for themselves but going forward we must bring boda boda, wheelbarrow and mkokoteni in that debate," he said. Ruto said the BBI debate must put into consideration the empowerment of the ordinary citizens and not just expansion of leadership positions. Ruto said through the BBI debate, all leaders must strive to sit and build a consensus and find a referendum that will not necessarily have a yes or no campaign.
