Raila’s take on mount kenya in regards to BBI

Raila spoke on  Mt Kenya leaders against the BBI to that of a frog that cannot stop a cow from drinking water from the river.

He claimed there has been a lot of propaganda about the document in the region, which he added was wearing away as discussion around it gains momentum.

Raila talked about the connection he had with the region in 2003 when on a victory tour with then newly elected President Kibaki, he was hailed by residents as ‘Jamba’ (hero) in stopovers on the way to Nyeri.

He also talked about his connection with Rift Valley, recalling how the region voted for him overwhelmingly in 2007 before, he said, the controversial Mau evictions was used by his political detractors to deny him votes in the 2013 General Election.

“When I took Kibaki to Nyeri I was received well and called ‘mLongoriaJamba. I was in Muranga the other week and I was received well,” said Raila.

This weekend, Raila will lead the BBI brigade to drum up support for the document in Meru before the team moves to Nakuru County. He said after Nakuru the team will pitch ta ent in Isiolo to sell the document before moving to Nyeri, Eldoret and finally Nairobi.

“We will cover all parts of the country. The idea is to ensure inclusivity. We don’t want to ambush people with a draft document because we want everyone on board,” Raila said.
