ODM chief Raila Odinga has pleaded with Mt Kenya region people to approach the proposed constitutional amendment Bill on the gains it shall bring to the region and not as Raila's project.
The ODM leader in an interview with a vernacular TV station appealed with the region to remove his name in the BBI project and support the process saying they could miss an opportunity that could be rare to get.
"Opportunities have wings, if they are not taken, they fly away. I appeal to the region to remove Raila in BBI and see the gains it seeks to introduce in that region," Odinga said.
Odinga said he was concentrating on popularising the BBI agenda and not his quest to seek for Presidency saying it will be the best legacy that will devolve more monies to the counties.
He refuted claims that BBI was his secret card to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta noting that since the inception of a handshake, he has always avoided the campaign talk to give the Jubilee government time to deliver its promises to the electorate.
"BBI is not about me, it’s for a better Kenya which entails bringing stability and a peaceful working environment for any Kenyan without tribe or ethnicity," the ODM leader said.
