Yusuf Haji listened to about 7,000 individuals and received tens of memoranda from various interest groups to deliver the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report. Perceived as a quiet schemer and pro-government, Haji, who until his death yesterday was the Garissa Senator, steered the 14-member team that was characterised by tense political intrigues and mistrust during the collection of views and report writing.
The former provincial administrator further led the team in a validation process that culminated in the second document launched in October last year.

ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday said they expect the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) referendum Bill to be approved by the requisite 24 counties before the end of this month.
The Bill requires approval by half of the 47 county assemblies to move to the next stage.
Raila lauded his home county of Siaya for being the first Assembly to pass the bill.
