Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri Explains Why He Voted for BBI

Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has defended his decision to support the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2020 he initially opposed.

Ngunjiri, an ally of Deputy President William Ruto, was among the 235 MPs who voted in support of the bill on Thursday night.

He noted that the BBI advocated for the bottom-up approach instituted by the Ruto camp.

“On our side, we’ve come up with a policy which dictates the bottom to the top approach which recently began and we’ve been constantly pushing it. What’s the difference with this (BBI) which takes funds to the grassroots level from MCAs to the top, and allocates five new constituencies for Nakuru county government? “ Ngunjiri asked.

He further alluded that the voting did not drive a wedge between himself and DP Ruto.

“I am still the chief campaigner of DP William Ruto. Have you seen the DP himself say no to BBI bill?” He posed.

Ngunjiri’s move to support Bill came as a shock to many, including his supporters, and could be viewed as a betrayal of DP Ruto and his Tanga tanga team.
