Meanwhile, Likoni lawmaker Mishi Mboko noted that the BBI report is geared at uniting Kenyans.

She wants people to focus on the document instead of being swayed away by political leaders with selfish interests.

“This document’s main agenda is to unite Kenyans. We should not allow a few people to divert the attention of Kenyans,” she noted.

According to Mboko, the proposed changes insist on equity in the distribution of resources to Kenyans.

She notes the document also seeks to address the issue of inclusivity in the leadership circles.

“We know for a fact that this document will address among other issues equal distribution of resources and inclusivity. This will in turn end election violence after every five years,” Mboko noted.
