A team has been formed to spear head Building Bridges Initiative ‘talk’ in Central Kenya following claims to fierce opposition.
The appointment of the five members charged with responsibility to ‘sell’ the document in the region follows disclosure that out of the 90 parliamentarians only 15 were against it.
MP Wangari Mwaniki
The team led by Kirinyaga Senator Charles Kibiru will include activities to sell BBI at the grassroots, after Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata wrote to President Uhuru Kenyatta outlining the reasons that will lead to its rejection.
The team
co-chaired by Kibiru and National Assembly Deputy Chief Whip Maoka Maore was appointed during a high powered meeting held at Thika Greens Resort in Gatanga, Murang’a.
Others are Embu Woman Representative Jane Wanjuki as Secretary, Limuru MP Peter Mwathi the Organising Secretary and Wangari Mwaniki (Kigumo) as his assistant.
Appointment of Mwaniki in the powerful group will stop the emerging opposition of the report in parts of Murang’a which has been accelerated in parts of the county.
Mwaniki, a lawyer by profession has been the key supporter of the BBI backed by President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The report has met stiff opposition in the region led by Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, Alice Wahome( Kandara), Wangui Ngirichi(Kirinyaga),Moses Kuria( Gatundu South) Kimani Ichungw’a( Kikuyu) among others owing to their affiliation with Deputy President William Ruto.
