Building Bridges was gazetted after Handshake - complete with chairman, sitting senators and secretariat. You called it a wazee baraza
The mandate to advise GoK on how to address "historical injustice", electoral squabbles, etc - was also included. They are gathering views on how to adress these myriad problems - it mere coincidence that folks all over - including CoG - have asked for more devolution, Fida and Maendeleo and Karuas want 1/3, etc - they are entirely open minded and considering all views
Ruto should have asked his crew to present opposing views instead of boycotting. Basically BBI was a big one - blank check - to use against Ruto. It why I say Handshake is a successful Trojan Horse 2.
It not illegal - unless the argument is funding? GoK fund many things which have no legal basis. How does that affect BBI? Perhaps sue Rotich? BBI is a basis for the questions in the popular initiative - so they are not accused of imposing parliamentary - cause they gathered views countrywide.
You can claim Aukot - once he come up with referendum questions - was funded by drug money to facilitate gathering views. How does that invalidate the initiative? Of course it doesn't.
The requirement is 1M signatures, IEBC approval, simple majority in 24 counties, MPs simple majority, rederendum simple majority. Of course it a longdrawn fight - which is a big wedge and last straw in Jubilee.
It's funded by taxpayers money - and yet it's not gazetted or does it have any legal backing. Anyway, it's just a waste of time. It will meet a brick wall soon when it taken through the motions - courts, IEBCS, 48 counties, parliament and finally a referendum if it's get there.
