We Need a Uniting BBI, Mombasa Youths Petition Government

By PETER KOMBE A section of county activists in Mombasa have vowed to embrace the Building Bridges Initiative should it address youth matters According to the lobbyists youth form the larger part of the Kenyan population and there is need to factor in their concerns. Speaking to the media in Mombasa Tuesday, Mombasa Youth Activist Ibrahim Jey says he will only embrace the report that will unite Kenyans and not catalyst of division. “Tunataka BBI inayotoa nafasi kwa viajana n haitakuwa na maana kama tripoti hiyo haitawaunganisha wakenya. We want a BBI that will factor in youth concerns. It will be a furtile document if it does not unite Kenyans,” said the activist. He further asked politicians to avoid hyping the political mood by fuelling political hatred amongst Kenyans He instead wants the political elites to focus more on their development agenda rather that engaging in early 2022 campaigns. “Peace is paramount. We want to see our leaders concentrating on development and not early campaigns,” said Jey. On the issue of the Buxton Housing project Ibrahim says he will only support the initiative only if it aims at bringing a positive change to the community. He notes that those behind the project should keep their personal interests at bay. Meanwhile, a human rights defender who spoke on condition of anonymity lashed out the political elites trailing behind the BBI noting that they have a hidden agenda. “Those behind the BBI Report have a hidden agenda. Why do they want to change the constitution at this time? According to him the constitution adequately addresses the needs of all Kenyans
