Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has reiterated her bold declaration that Mt Kenya is fully behind the Building Bridges Initiative(BBI) sparking mixed reactions from citizens with quite a number stating that her views only represent those of leaders and not the wananchi of the region.
“I said it! You see it! Now believe it!”, Waiguru took to social media to affirm her statement after the AU envoy Raila Odinga announced that he held meetings with political and community leaders from the Mt.Kenya.
Raila revealed that they reviewed the BBI and its implications for matters critical to them including Agriculture, representation, Youth Empowerment, Sharing of Revenue, national unity and economic well-being of the nation.
