Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi on Friday, October 25 criticised leaders from Mt Kenya region over remarks that they have been exchanging over the Building Bridges Initiative.
Ngunyi scorned the leaders for displaying their ignorance in fighting over a report that was yet to be made public.
"If BBI Kenya report is not out yet, what are we discussing? Central Kenya MPs are just exchanging ignorance," the analyst posted online.
The remarks by Ngunyi came in the backdrop of a press conference by a group of Central Kenya leaders who vowed to shoot down the report if certain conditions were not met.
On Wednesday, October 23, about 40 Senators and MPs, announced irreducible minimums regarding the highly-anticipated document.
The group was led by Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura and his Meru counterpart Mithika Linturi.
"The BBI report is almost out and like everyone else, we had presented several ideas from our people that we wanted to be included in the report," stated the politician in a video posted by Citizen TV.
"Everyone has a right and there must be unity of all Kenyans, for us to progress as a nation. The report must consider our presentation and our lamentations on how national resources are shared," Mwaura cried.
He further reiterated that Central Kenya residents were unfairly represented by the Jubilee administration and requested to have BBI correct the situation.
The leaders also warned that they would not revert from the current electoral system (popular vote) to adopt any other proposed system.
"We do not want an electoral college where a leader is elected from Parliament. We want one man one vote system. We will stand strong and read the report before explaining it to our people," Mwaura declared.
