Why SUPKEM is Opposed to the BBI Report
Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) has threatened to reject the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report. The Council has termed the process as insignificant during the Covid-19 pandemic. The leadership of the Muslim religion urged President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday to stop any further step on BBI.
The Council stated that BBI is a major setback to the gains made in 2010 when the current constitution was proclaimed. SUPKEM further urged Uhuru to divert the energy geared to succeed BBI process towards combating Covid-19.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and deputy President William Ruto met a day before the expected date of signature launch.
The assertion of the Council comes a day after the country recorded another high number of Covid-19 infections. According to the Health Ministry, 1211 people tested positive for Covid-19 out of a sample size of 9,304. On Saturday, the death toll had risen to 1,366 after 17 more people succumbed to the dreaded virus.
