Muslim leaders have called on President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga to call off the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) process and instead focus on the against Covid-19.

Speaking on Sunday during a press conference at the Kenya Arab friendship society offices in Nairobi, the leaders led by Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) chairman Hassan Ole Naado said the envisioned constitutional amendment in the BBI report is not a priority now with the country experiencing the second wave of Covid-19 with cases and deaths rising on a daily basis.
