What you need to know:

  • Mr Kamanda endorsed Mr Odinga for the presidency in 2022, saying the country was ready for his leadership.
  • Jubilee Deputy Secretary-General Caleb Kositany said the proponents of BBI “are afraid of making it public.”

  • The joint secretaries of the BBI steering committee, Ambassador Martin Kimani and Paul Mwangi, said the report was ready.

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga on Sunday gave the strongest hint yet that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report could be unveiled soon, setting the stage for a referendum.
