The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report comes out today. The document, which has divided the country down the middle, will be handed to President Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi.

Notably, politicians have been hurling brickbats at each other with Mr Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, the architects of BBI, supporting the document and Deputy President William Ruto opposing it. Political temperatures are bound to go up a notch after BBI’s contents become public as politicians pull in different directions.
