[VIDEO] Uhuru Delivers Speech on BBI in the US

President Kenyatta has said that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which was born after his March 9th, 2018 handshake with ODM leader Raila Odinga, will help grow the country’s economy and bring an end to chaotic presidential elections.

Kenyatta said the United States can learn a lot from the BBI, describing it was a unique initiative that should be adopted internationally. Speaking at the Atlantic Council Forum in Washington, DC on Wednesday, Uhuru added that the BBI is a key pillar to the political and social governance engineering.

“This is a homegrown solution for a divisive political culture that has bred conflicts. It is the best way to preempt further escalation in political competition,” Uhuru said.

He added: "We have realized that first-past-the-post form of election competition is not sustainable for our country.”

He further indicated that the country is using the initiative to fix its socio-political structure as a platform for sustainable economic development.

“We are focusing on using inclusivity to strengthen the center of politics. We want a country where leaders can have the willingness to compromise to disorient politics of extremism,” he said.

“This initiative further looks at bold reforms that advance inclusion and eliminate corruption. I, therefore, ask you as a council to delve deeper into the initiative.”

“I dare you to imagine and support African driven solutions. Resist from being drawn into a proxy struggle with other states and support Africa.”

@halisi - hold on kid! You just regurgitated the exact words the president talked about!

I have seen may of your writing contest corruption, agitating for equality and justice, and a level playing ground to avoid bloodshed during election cycles.

Are you a useless-burger-less-total-fat-meatheadless-donut-head kind of a black “white-man idiot? You surely sound quite uncouth and plainly damn! It is good to know how a ”white-man” like you feels about all those who are black!

Only a white man like you would have such a level of personal insecurity to start insulting a black man for pushing for a level playing field!

For Uhuru to say that "United States can learn a lot from the BBI, describing it was a unique initiative that should be adopted internationally" is pure NONSENSE and Dumber than a Grade 1 kid idea. It's also like a Toddler teaching an Adult how to Walk.

Liar! Liar! pants on fire!BBI will take you down as the worst president Kenya had. BBI has no political or moral ground but for your ass to stay in power. Kenyans never asked for a powerful p.m and will never ask coz your friend(RAILA) has given you a little mchawi power potion.
Kenyans are intelligent citizens and if you have been listening to what's going on on the ground, then you damn sure this BBI shit ain't going anywhere. Its just home-cooked plot by Mt. Kenya to remain in power. You come all the way to come and lie to our face that BBI stops chaotic elections and brings economic stability. I thought you did economics in College? How? Take me to class! It is true when you hang out with a mchawi, you will turn out the best mchawi!
Just go back to Kenya! Don't want you here with your lies and nonfunctioning policies! Third world country! Bure kabisa

What have they delivered that we are proud of? Our champion athletes are suffering languishing in poverty. What are the egocentric individuals after? Power glutons thinking after their own self what are we peasants to do? Just follow their decisions like silly sheep. Respect mwanachi decision #ariseKenya
