Baringo Senator Gideon Moi yesterday urged Kenyans to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
The Kanu chairman also advised Kenyans not to mistake the initiative as a contest between the Government and political parties.
Speaking at Kimana town in Oloitokitok, Kajiado County, Gideon said the initiative will help citizens reap benefits from the Government.
“We have a clique of people who are misleading our people that this document is a contest between the Government and them. This is not true. Let us embrace the document for our own benefit,” he said.

Five days shy of his 89th birthday, the uncompromising politician and polished administrator, Simeon Nyachae, took the final bow.
The news of his passing, which had been circulating around the country like bush fire, and fueled by social media, was ultimately confirmed yesterday at 3.05pm by his son, Charles Nyachae.
The younger Nyachae broke the news of his father’s death at the Lee Funeral Home, where his body was lying after it was transferred from the Nairobi Hospital where he breathed his last.

Baringo Senator Gideon Moi’s journey to the presidency is slowly picking up pace, as he embarks on crafting political alliances.
Gideon is consolidating his political support not only in his Rift Valley backyard but also across the country, setting in motion his bid for the presidency next year.
In the Rift Valley, Talai elders last week made him the Kalenjin kingpin in what is seen as way to neutralise Deputy President William Ruto’s influence in the region.
And in other parts of the country, he has been reaching out to key political players, revamping the independence party, Kanu, and taking a leading role in the ongoing constitutional amendment agenda.
“I urge Machakos voters not to let Kalonzo down. While at that ballot booth, think of 2022. As a community, you should not be in the opposition. Electing Ms Muthama will have a direct bearing on Kalonzo and the entire community ahead of 2022,” said Gideon.
The Kanu chairman said his presence during the launch of Kavindu’s campaigns for the senate seat was a testament of his party’s commitment to work with Wiper.
Wetang’ula said the presence of ANC, Ford Kenya and Kanu in Kalonzo’s backyard signalled a new dawn for the country’s future. The Bungoma senator said the parties had agreed not to field candidates in Machakos to consolidate support for Wiper’s candidate as they seek to cultivate better working relationship ahead of the next elections.
