Uhuru is ready and willing to do everything to achieve the BBI referendum. Of course, he will throw the State machinery behind his bid for ‘a united country’ and there is no way anyone stands a chance of opposing that.
DP William Ruto, the antagonist in the BBI movie, has so avoided a direct confrontation with the President because he doesn’t want to upset the Mt Kenya voting bloc. President Uhuru is a prince in the Kikuyu nation and anyone who goes against him must forget the region’s support. Is Ruto ready for these consequences?

The BBI might be creating a bloated executive with the position of Prime Minister and two deputies. There are other disturbing clauses about that report which are not ‘suitable for human consumption.’
However, the same report wants a four year grace period for HELB beneficiaries, a seven-year tax haven for small businesses. These are clauses that touch directly on hustlers. Opposing the BBI will be opposing ‘hustler empowerment’.

Moreover, the DP losses nothing if he supports this document. However, everything is on the line for him if he opts to take the path everyone expects him to take.
