Martha Karua's 'Linda Katiba Movement' Launches Anti-BBI Campaign

A lobby group dubbed Linda Katiba Movement has unveiled a campaign against the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Led by Nark-Kenya leader Martha Karua, the group wants Kenyans to reject attempts to amend the 2010 Constitution through BBI, a brainchild of President Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

On Monday, the movement launched a website where Kenyans can sign up to oppose the plan to introduce changes to the constitution.

"We are calling for the full implementation of the 2010 Constitution, which has been vandalized, abused, cannibalized, and destroyed," Karua said during a media briefing in Nairobi.

She added that Kenyans have the power to defeat the selfish plans of the political elite.

"We are the majority, some 50 million Kenyans. Do not show us the five million signatures you collected," said Karua.

On his part, economist David Ndii warned Kenyans that they risk finding themselves where they were before the introduction of multi-party democracy in 1992 if they fail to reject BBI.

"There is a hidden agenda in the BBI. Our 2010 Constitution is being dismantled as we watch, " Ndii said.

Activist Jerotich Seii asked Kenyans not to allow a few leaders to change the law to suit their selfish interests.

"Join us. Let us form a mighty army to defeat these people," she urged Kenyans.

The lobby said it will use the website to mobilize Kenyans to reject BBI, in addition to organizing meetings with activists and other like-minded people to champion the same.

Yes Martha!! lets go. Down with the crazy BBI. We want our country back from the wannabee monarchs. Down with BBI, down with dynastic corrupt demagogues who think they own Kenya since independence. Our hard won Uhuru from the British colonial yoke fell into the hands of an oligarchy; the enemy collaborators who steal everything in the nation with no sympathy for our children. VOTE NO! BBI.

Martha, congratulations!! Show us where to sign and how to contribute so we can defeat BBI ( Breaking Bridges Initiative).
Dynasties need to prepare to exit the political scene.
The world has changed and there is no going back. What those who are in power could not achieve, they need leave it for the next guy.

Down with BBI nonsense. This is what I have been waiting for all along.
We the people need to defend our constitution from the dynastic vampires.

Yes. The BBI wants to take away the gains given to us by the 2010 constitution. It creates a powerful President that Kenyans rejected. By rejecting BBI, Kenyans will have redeemed themselves from the hands of those bureaucrats who want to rules us by their rules. Let us day no to the BBI. Please point us to the website URL.

Unless we stand strong and defend our 2010 constitution like a city wall, the next president of Kenya will be rigged in through BBI. Raila has already issued a warning of, the escalating violence and tension in the country ahead of the 2022 general elections. How does he know? Raila is the mother of all the violence and tensions in Kenya and knows very well what he is talking about. The directorate of criminal investigation should take Raila's election violence treat seriously. He should be squeezed to explain what he knows about the treat he is talking about. Let no one fool you. BBI has nothing to do with our perennial vices: corruption, ethnic hatred, lack of ethos, or lack of inclusivity, unshared prosperity etc. we could have taken care of all these problems using the laws already in the books if we wanted to. BBI is all about the 2022 power struggle and alignment in readiness for the elections.

Can you tell kenyans facts why BBI should be rejected? How has the 2010 constitution be vandalized and raped? Be careful of opportunists like Karua, rejected politicians who swore Kibaki at midnight by circumventing the same constitution when it served her purposes! She is now trying to stay relevant and take the opportunity prtunity. Bure kabisa!!!! Say its bad and give facts why that is the case to educate the public. Not hoodwinking for your own selfish gain!!!!

The problem of the management of our national leadership and governance is not with the constitution but the issue of constitunalism.
It is with the selfish personal interests overriding the strategic national interests.
