ODM leader Raila Odinga has asked Kenyans to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), saying it presents a concrete plan for change and unity.
Raila said the deep ethnic divisions in the country would end when BBI is implemented ahead of the 2022 general election.
Kenya now has an opportunity, through BBI, to correct the past, which we have never been given before as a nation.
The ODM leader was with ODM minority chief whip Junet Mohammed, MPs Fred Ouda, Shakeel Shabbir and Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang Nyong o and local Kisumu Central BBI campaign coordinator Dr Joshua Oron.
