A youth lobby group calling itself ‘Youth for Kenya’ has rejected the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report which was officially launched on Monday. In a statement issued on Thursday, group chairperson and founder, Antonellah Kakuko, said they oppose the BBI report because of exclusion from the process. The youth lobby pointed out that the report does not solve issues facing the youth hence there was need for discussions to come up with an acceptable document. For the conversation to continue we must have a youth in the BBI steering committee,” Ms Thumbi said. They asked for the BBI report not to be made top priority in the country currently, given Kenya was facing other bigger challenges including the Covid-19 pandemic.
