This is why Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) by @railaodinga and @ukenyatta is an illegal and unconstitutional outfit – a thread #HeroesforChange #MashujaaDay2018 #MashujaaNaKOTloyals
1.It is established without any legal authority – The President must always exercise that power under known legal authority. In Gazette Notice 5154 the President does not cite the legal authority under which he is establishing BBI because there is none.
2.Parliament has never passed a law or even deliberated on a motion to establish BBI. Without an enabling constitutional or statutory framework, BBI is anchored on an illegality. Gazette Notice alone is not enough.
3.Moreover, BBI’s aim, we are told, is to “outline the policy, administrative reform proposals” which @RailaOdinga has interpreted to mean constitutional changes thro referendum. Yet BBI or its work, is not aligned to the mandatory framework on const amendments - Art. 255-257
4.Articles 255-257 of the Constitution have no room or do not authorize an amorphous and public money gobbling vehicle such as BBI to facilitate constitutional change process. That is the work of parliament and IEBC (assuming there is one in place)
5.BBI is not a popular initiative. It is a political subterfuge vehicle to divert Kenyans focus from the real issue: an economy buckling under the weight of plunder, sheer incompetence & cluelessness on how to govern a country.
6.If in fact genuine efforts to amend the constitution will be initiated later, Kenyans will be out of pocket twice – by funding the illegal consultation process that BBI is engaging in then funding the genuine consultation process required by Articles 255-257. Yet we are broke!
7.BBI is duplicitous & steals powers of other legal agencies. Ostensibly the bridges in BBI are for cohesion. Why should Kenyans pay Haji, Wako et al to do what we are already paying Kaparo to do? Should we even be paying Kaparo in the first place?
