Vijana NA RAO

The next Mashujaa Day will be presided over by HE Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga; God Willing.
I am keeping the faith.

Asanteni Eldoret, it’s evident we are all coming together.

More than 24 County assemblies on Tuesday voted in favor of the BBI, surpassing the required constitutional threshhold.

This means there will be a referundum.

Ten County Assemblies have today assured President Kenyatta that they will pass the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) legislation within the required legal timeline.

The assurance by Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Murang'a, Nyandarua, Kiambu, Laikipia and Nakuru County Assemblies was made Friday at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri County during a meeting between the Head of State and 550 Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and their respective leadership teams.

Led by their County Assembly Speakers and House Leaders, the MCAs said they back the BBI process because it will allocate more development resources to the grassroots and help solve challenges facing wananchi such as inadequate bursaries.

President Kenyatta thanked the County legislators for endorsing the BBI process saying the reforms will strengthen devolution thereby accelerating Kenya's socioeconomic transformation.

Tupike, Tuilinde, Tugawe kwa Haki. Our mission in BBI is to bake a bigger cake, protect it from thieves and share it equitably...shared prosperity.

That was my message to ODM county chairs today whom I asked to make BBI a core ODM business. Handshake remains strong.
