Violent Kibra Constituency parliamentary by-election campaigns have exposed the fallacy that is the foundation on which the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) rests. BBI is premised on many things, key among them the bridging of political divides that give succour to tribalism and with it, violence that is for the most part uncalled for.
The fights that have erupted during campaigns, the mistrust, invective, blame and counter blame fly in the face of the much-touted BBI which, we have been informed, is the magic wand that will unite Kenyans.
