AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> ODM leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday drummed up support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in Githurai, telling the youth not to be swayed by \u2018wheelbarrow politics.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking during a roadside rally, Odinga told the youth that most of the promises made by the Jubilee government are yet to be fulfilled eight years later.<\/p>\n

The former Prime Minister highlighted the laptop project, jobs and building of stadia as some of the areas the government had failed to deliver despite basing its manifesto on development.<\/p>\n

Pointing an accusing finger at Deputy President William Ruto, the ODM leader asked the youth not to be fooled for a second time by buying the wheelbarrow narrative.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey promised you 1million jobs. By now you should have 8million jobs\u2026have you seen them?<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of our children are about to sit for KCPE exams but they are yet to see the laptops they were promised,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adding: \u201cMost of you are learned but now you are being promised wheelbarrows\u2026Is that the kind of change you want?\u201d<\/p>\n

Odinga stated that the\u00a0BBI would benefit the youth in many ways by bringing about positive and transformative change.<\/p>\n

“BBI is not about me, it\u2019s for a better Kenya which entails bringing stability and a peaceful working environment for any Kenyan without tribe or ethnicity,” the ODM leader said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, a mob tried\u00a0to disrupt the function but leaders who accompanied Raila during the tour maintained that Kenyans should not be divided along tribal lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenya belongs to all of us and we have a right to hold a rally here,\u201d said Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.<\/p>\n

Sentiments that were echoed by Siaya Senator James Orengo and Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks,\u00a0Odinga has hit out at DP Ruto for misleading the youth\u00a0through what he termed as misleading promises and the DP responded by saying he (Raila), cannot run away from the failures of the Jubilee government.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his Karen home last week, Ruto said ODM is to blame for causing the government to deviate from its Big Four Agenda plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou came and changed the Government\u2019s priorities from the Big Four Agenda to alternative ones like the Building Bridges Initiative.\u00a0Now, after you have failed miserably, you want to run away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adding: \u201cYou must bear the consequences for the derailment of Jubilee\u2019s development agenda. You cannot point fingers at others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
