Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has hit out at Deputy President William Ruto for opposing the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) drive.
Speaking in Mbooni, Makueni County on Saturday, Mr Kalonzo, who made several stopovers in Mbooni town, promised locals the goodies the BBI basket held as the Constitutional Amendment Bill (2020) goes to county assemblies.
“Do not accept this wheelbarrow agenda. You can never sell wheelbarrow economics; it does not make sense. In BBI we are saying it is a bottom-up approach because the money goes to the people,” the former vice president said.
