Deputy President William Ruto has said the Building Bridges Initiative report does not belong to President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Instead, the DP said the BBI process is about the country,and hence belongs to all Kenyans.
He said through his Twitter account on Wednesday that it is wrong to reduce the Constitution amendment process in BBI to a Uhuru-Raila affair.
“It is ours collectively. We are either all in or all cornered. We must build bridges to the church, pastoralists, devolved units (executive and legislature), and others to achieve consensus,” Ruto said.
As more proposals to the report continue to emerge, Ruto has maintained that the BBI should be an all-inclusive affair.
He had earlier communicated through the same platform that recommendations from the Council of Governors deserve attention from the BBI team.
Ruto said that governors' proposals will better the workings of devolution which has decentralised power, resources, growth centers, hence eliminating margnalisation.
Governors on Tuesday said the Senate should be strengthened by ensuring it has veto powers on all the bills before the BBI is subjected to a referendum.
They also called for the introduction of the position of deputy ministers, who should be picked from Parliament.
According to Ruto, the recommendations from different groups should be factored in the report before subjecting it to Kenyans for a referendum.
On Tuesday, Raila said that there is significantly little chance of incorporating new ideas being brought into the BBI document ahead of the referendum.
Raila added that the remaining work is editorial, where the team will make it explicit on demands by various groups where it sounds vague or general.
