The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report has been hailed as a document for not just achieving sustainable development, but also ensuring lasting peace in Kenya. There are many benefits the common mwananchi can reap from this important initiative.

In 2013, President Uhuru Kenyatta took the reins of power at probably the most tumultuous period in Kenya’s history. He was facing charges at the International Criminal Court where he was later acquitted. We were then confronted with the shocking Westgate, Likoni and Garissa University terror attacks. Last year, the country had to deal with the locust invasion and coronavirus pandemic but despite all these, our president has managed to steer this country forward.
