On November 27, 2019, at Bomas of Kenya, the lines were drawn between Raila Odinga and William Ruto over the BBI Report. The two leaders have taken contradicting positions on how the document should be passed or amended.
While Raila Odinga prefers a people-driven, popular initiative, DP William Ruto is skeptical and insists that the report should go through parliament without necessarily having to go to an election.
Speaking at Bomas, Raila Odinga said, 'This is just the beginning. This is a first step to initiate a national conversation. It is from here that the document will be taken to the people for their views. A committee of experts will be created to look into the various sections that need to be changed and then it will be taken to the people, to decide whether they want it or not.'
DP Ruto, however, was adamant that the report should be tabled in parliament and that Members of Parliament should ensure all the proposals in the document are passed.
With Raila and Ruto taking opposing views, it is expected that this will be another battle front for the two leaders and their respective allies.
