Uhuru, Raila Receive Final BBI Report Ahead of Official Launch

President Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have received the final Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.

The document was handed over to the two leaders by the BBI taskforce at Kisii State Lodge on Wednesday morning.

Speaking after receiving the report, President Uhuru maintained that the BBI process is about the future of the nation and not 2022 succession politics.

“…This document does not belong to me and Raila. It doesn’t! It belongs to you. This document is not about this individual’s presidency and that individual’s prime ministership. It is about all of us. What we are looking for is a document about posterity,” noted Kenyatta.

Uhuru said the report will be officially unveiled at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on Monday and urged Kenyans to read it before taking positions.

“Let us read it as individual citizens because it is about your life, the life of your children, and your children’s children. Let us not politicize life! Politics will come and go but this society that we call Kenya is here to stay,” he added.

“We are not looking for what we disagree about. We are saying these ones that we agree on let us have a consensus and move forward,” he added.

On his part, Odinga echoed Kenyatta’s sentiments saying the BBI report presents Kenyans with an opportunity to engage in a meaningful conversation on the country’s future.

“The BBI report recommendations are not cast in stone. They are for you to engage,” said Odinga.
