A major split has rocked President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Mt Kenya backyard that now threatens to scuttle the Building Bridges Initiative and the camaraderie with ODM leader Raila Odinga. On Monday, however, Kang'ata was disowned by powerful Mt Kenya leaders, including the region's 10 governors. In his letter that is music to the Ruto camp, Kang'ata said the BBI is unpopular and has approximately 10 per cent support in Mt Kenya. But 10 Mt Kenya governors in a press statement termed the senator's remarks as “irresponsible, cheap and populist”. The governors want the top Jubilee leadership to coordinate the BBI political actors.
