The backers of the Building Bridges Initiative must stop lying to the country that it was the only route to increasing resources to the counties, Deputy President William Ruto has said.
He said the BBI proponents must forward their proposal on the additional resources to the devolved units of government to Parliament if they were true to the cause.
“Counties can still be given more funds through Parliament without the conman-ship in the BBI,” he said.
He explained that even the creation of additional constituencies was feasible without taking the country through the unnecessarily and costly route of amending the Constitution.
“If Kenyans were in need of more constituencies, then the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission would have been engaged.”
