Parties opposed to the Building Bridges Initiative rounded up their submissions yesterday by giving the High Court a thumbs-up for "helping the country from sliding to anarchy."

As they gave a blow-by-blow response to appeals by President Uhuru Kenyatta, Attorney General Kihara Kariuki, ODM leader Raila Odinga, BBI Secretariat and the electoral commission, the parties stated that Kenyans could not sit back and watch as the big politicians apportioned themselves power through the backdoor.
