On December 17, 2019, US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter declared his support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, calling for its implementation ahead of the 2022 general elections.
McCarter, who assured the US support for the report, stated that its implementation would achieve unity in Kenya.
"The United States is a great friend of Kenya and, although I do not agree with all details in the BBI, the USA fully supports it for Kenya to remain a united country," McCarter said while speaking in Kapsabet, Nandi County.
However, deported Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna has blasted McCarter, accusing him of double standards.
Miguna cited the case of Senator Amos Wako, the former Attorney-General who was recently barred from setting foot on US soil over corruption allegations. Wako is a member of the taskforce that prepared the BBI report.
"The US Ambassador Kenya is a cartel. He hailed the banning of Amos Wako from the US but supports other BBI cat walking con-men and con-women like Anne Waiguru, Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. Mr Ambassador, stop asking Kenyans to drink sulphuric acid," Miguna tweeted.
