Published on August 7, 2020, the Handshake marked a significant turning point in Kenya's history, bringing together two leaders from opposing sides to work towards a common goal.
However, despite this progress, Kenya still grapples with issues of tribalism, ethnic warfare, and social inequality, which have led to post-election violence and chaos in the past.
The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was launched to address these issues and promote unity, stability, and prosperity for all Kenyans.
At its core, the BBI is a comprehensive report that highlights the answers provided by thousands of Kenyans from different tribes, religions, ages, and walks of life regarding what they want for their country's future.
It aims to promote harmony and understanding between different groups, leading to better representation in government and a more equitable society.
As Kenya continues to face challenges such as corruption and the COVID-19 pandemic, the BBI presents a major opportunity for the country to come together and work towards a brighter future.
While there may be negative voices in the crowd, optimists can continue to support the prospect of a prosperous Kenya, where every citizen has the chance to thrive.
As the light of hope begins to shine through the cracks, it is time for every Kenyan to stand up for what is just, fair, and meant to make life better for all.
It can be done, and it is time to do it.
