Nyanza leaders have lined up a series of countrywide rallies in the New Year to popularise the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report and push for an expanded executive.

The leaders are against the winner-takes-all mentality, saying it is not good for Kenya and are pushing for creation of a powerful Prime Minister position in BBI’s second wave.
