Deputy President William Ruto said the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) process has no legal framework, just a day after he urged the undertakers of the process to consider his views.
Speaking to a local news outlet on Thursday night, Ruto faulted the BBI taskforce, saying that it was not meant to amend the Constitution.
“The manner in which this process has been conducted has no legal framework. Fortunately, there are people who are listening and some concerns raised have been taken on board. We are all in this process. At some point it will become clear…We do not have a legal framework that is supporting this process like we had in 2010,” said Ruto.
According to the DP who remained noncommittal in either supporting or opposing the proposed amendments to the Constitution, he has been vocal “so that he wouldn’t be accused of being silent in future”.
“This is a constitution-making process. The constitution is about every Kenyan, myself included. If it is being amended, I do not have the luxury to stand aside and do nothing about it. I do not want history to judge me for not stepping out to speak out,” he said.
