Why the Launch of BBI Signature was postponed

The launch of BBI signature collection was postponed indefinitely at the eleventh hour, thus creating unnecessary tension on the part of its propagators. The process was postponed after it emerged that it would polarize the country. To avert unnecessary tension, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s advisers took the bold decision to advise him to incorporate deputy president William Ruto so as to come up with a non-contested referendum. The idea that led to the push for consensus was arrived at after it emerged that Kenyans might reject the much hyped document. Raila Odinga and allies have the gigantic task of going back to the drawing board and devise a mechanism that will avert much chagrin. He has to marshal his troops in toeing to the line that will enable the former premier win the trust of Kenyans. Otherwise as things stand, Raila might find himself in the historical dustbin should he continue advocating for the much divisive report.
