AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Baringo Senator Gideon Moi wants MCAs to play a pivotal role in the Building Bridges Initiative\u00a0(BBI) process.<\/p>\n

Gideon said ward representatives play a critical role as grassroots leaders who hold devolved governments to account.<\/p>\n

He said he appreciated consultations he held with several Nyeri MCAs on their role in making devolution successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, I want to appreciate the MCAs drawn from different wards in Nyeri County led by Pauline Wanjira Wamabati of Magutu Ward and Micheal Karumba of Mwiyogo Ward for the fruitful consultative meeting we had,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n
The Kanu chairman was speaking after a closed-door meeting with MCAs prior to the Kanu BBI sensitisation forum in Kieni Constituency on Tuesday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

During the public forum, Gideon said the amendments to the Constitution were the mark of a progressive society that would strengthen democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not doing away with the Constitution, we are simply making amendments, and this is a sign of a progressive society. For example, the US constitution has undergone many amendments over the years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gideon lauded the MCAs, who he said had remained steadfast in the collective pursuit of a nation united by ideals and shared prosperity as envisaged in the BBI.<\/p>\n

According to MCAs who attended the closed-door meeting, Gideon thanked them for playing a key role in the BBI process at the grassroots.<\/p>\n

\u201cMCAs play a very pivotal role in the success of\u00a0BBI\u00a0and if they were sidelined this would be a major concern for us,\u201d Karumba said.<\/p>\n

Wamabati said leaders should follow Gideon\u2019s example of making efforts to engage MCAs. She lauded the senator for being open to dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
