Aukot dismisses BBI as Uhuru's campaign gift to Opposition boss

Third Way Alliance Party leader Ekuro Aukot.

The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is President Uhuru Kenyatta's campaign gift to Opposition chief Raila Odinga ahead of the 2022 presidential election, Third Way Alliance boss Ekuru Aukot has said.

Dr Aukot said BBI, formed last year after a political truce - handshake - between the President and Raila, was a “pet project” between two individuals and did not represent the wishes of millions of Kenyans.
