The mercenaries have dug in and are daring for a fight. I believe we should determine the time, terms and conditions of engagement,\u201d Raila wrote on tweeter.<\/p>\n<p>Raila\u2019s statement was a response to a post by Prof Makau Mutua who had challenged Ruto to resign, arguing his sensational utterances were an attack on President Uhuru Kenyatta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>War with president<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear William Ruto is at war with Uhuru Kenyatta. Otherwise how can you accuse your boss of destroying you? It\u2019s time to resign. That\u2019s what Oginga Odinga did under Mzee Kenyatta,\u201d Mutua wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Mutua was responding to an earlier post on Twitter by Ruto, who also spoke out publicly on Saturday during the burial of Sergeant Kipyegon Kenei, a guard at his office who was killed in a murder the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has linked to the Sh39 billion fake arms deal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe DCI has been mobilised, for political reasons, to discredit and destroy my office with all manner of nonsense and to bring me down. Those in this scheme are boasting that I will not be there soon. Since the system cannot elect anybody, they can only kill. But there is God in heaven,\u201d Ruto declared.<\/p>\n<p>The DP\u2019s remarks followed Thursday\u2019s press conference by DCI boss George Kinoti during which he disclosed Kenei\u2019s connection to former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and his associates who are accused of visiting the DP\u2019s office at Harambee House Annex with the two arms dealers eyeing the lucrative weapons deal.<\/p>\n<p>These bitter exchanges further strain relations between the two camps that were already on the war path over BBI rallies, and in particular over the meeting planned for Nakuru on March 21 and which will be a joint forum for the residents of Central and North Rift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eldoret meeting off<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the surprise cancellation of the meeting that had been scheduled for Eldoret bringing together the residents of counties in North Rift and merging the same with that of Nakuru, political heat has been building, giving all indications that this could turn out to be an explosive affair.\u00a0The Rift edition of BBI looks to be a tricky ground for Raila\u2019s team as the region is perceived as Ruto\u2019s bedrock.<\/p>\n<p>A demand by the DP\u2019s camp that in their rally they will not hand over their memoranda to Raila, as has been happening in the other meetings, and that they will only give it to the chairman of the BBI Steering Committee, Senator Yusuf Haji, has stepped up the supremacy fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rally will be a shocker. All of us will be there. However, we will hand our memoranda to Haji or his representatives\u00a0na sio hao wakora,\u201d Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi declared.<\/p>\n<p>Sudi added: \u201cWe will be in Nakuru and we are waiting to see if it is an opportunity for the people to give their views or a forum for politicians to play politics. The reason the BBI organisers are scared of the Rift Valley rallies is because of what happened in Meru, where the people said what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen said the organisers of the meetings now find themselves cornered by a problem that he claims is of their own making, as they have never been inclusive in the manner they have been organising the rallies.\u201cFrom the beginning, these meetings have been run in a shadowy manner, with no known centre.<\/p>\n<p>It is such a paradox that while the process is supposed to bring us together, some of us are kept in the dark. Ask yourself why the ODM side always appears to be in the know of the plans while we in Jubilee are not,\u201d Murkomen posed.\u00a0Murkomen, who said he had not been contacted for the planning of the region\u2019s meeting despite being a ranking politician, however said he will be attending the Nakuru meeting, but warned that the rally must be devoid of the exclusions that have been witnessed in other areas, if it is to be successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not entertain political machinations and apparent settling of political scores as we have witnessed in other rallies. Of course there is a problem somewhere on how these rallies are conducted; why is it that they are meant to attack the DP?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika said: \u201cWe are warning those planning to attend that if they have intentions of provoking the residents of Nakuru and by extension the Rift Valley, then we will not allow this.<\/p>\n<p>They should know that they will be attending as invited guests.\u201dBut while the DP\u2019s group has publicly maligned the BBI campaign, dismissing the rallies as Raila\u2019s ODM 2022 election campaigns, it has fallen short of openly leading a rebellion against the drive stemming from Uhuru and Raila\u2019s March 9, 2018 handshake.<\/p>\n<p>Some argue this is partly the case as there is unanimity that there was nothing divisive in the product that came from the Haji team. And critics of BBI also fear being isolated should the constitutional reforms drive become popular.National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi agreed that the document produced had rightly identified areas that needed to be fixed, earning the support of both camps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rivals of BBI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is mainly because majority of people agree that there are things that need to be fixed. Majority agree on the importance of the handshake apart from some individuals who think that the handshake curtails their path to power. You must be very brave to tell us that you are opposing.<\/p>\n<p>Because of lack of an alternative, no one wants to appear to be opposing openly,\u201d said Mr Mbadi.Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja argued that those who would have led a protest against the BBI have found that they are likely to face a serious wave that has already been created in support of some changes and thus fear that they may find themselves isolated by a majority of Kenyans.<\/p>\n<p>He said as was presented, the BBI report had captured the interests of a majority of Kenyans, and thus anyone who is seen as publicly being opposed to the process would be seen as \u201can enemy of the people\u201d.\u201cThe truth is that there is a lot of insincerity. There are people who are supporting the BBI during the day, but at night they are plotting how to defeat it,\u201d said Sakaja.<\/p>\n<p>He said the open division being witnessed was not on the contents of the BBI, but simply because there are people \u201cwho just do not agree\u201d, alluding to the relationship between Raila and Ruto.<\/p>\n<p>Sakaja claimed that the DP was using his allies as proxies to give his preferred positions that have been bordering on opposing the BBI, yet he does not want to come out clear in his rebellion against it.\u201cSome politicians have decided to go brazen and are openly opposing the BBI terming it a waste of time and such like.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear they are speaking what their political leader does not want to openly say, otherwise why has he not corrected them on these positions,\u201d said the senator.\u201cIf there is a politician who is very clear on his messaging, it is the DP, but it is obvious that in this case he is using proxies to send his messages,\u201d he claimed even as he accused Ruto and his team of creating uncertainties as he plays his 2022 political card.Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr said the only divisions being witnessed at the moment were largely over who was in charge of the process.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said a rebellion will only be open once the report is condensed into a Bill that will be ready to be presented to County Assemblies and Parliament ahead of the referendum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it is now there is nothing to agree or oppose; the content appears to please both camps. The divergence is about who appears to be in charge of the process and who will finally take credit for it.\u201cWait until the report is finally reduced to a Bill; rebellion will sprout from the group that will feel cheated and that is where the real division will take shape,\u201d Kilonzo Jnr said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whispers in the night<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The senator said it was wrong for the Haji team to allow the process to be hijacked by politicians before they even came out with a draft Bill, saying in the two referenda, such groups came up with draft documents that gave room to a definite public debate, creating camps for the pro-document and those against it.<\/p>\n<p>Tongaren MP Simiyu Eseli argued there is fear among some politicians that coming out to oppose the BBI process could expose them to retribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are cowards. We have people who are opposed to BBI but they don\u2019t want to come out early. Most of those who don\u2019t want to come out have skeletons in their closets. They fear that if they come out openly, they may end up being held to account for some of the crimes they may have committed,\u201d said the MP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga\u2019s sensational remarks have escalated tensions that further polarise the political climate and undermines the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) that\u2019s in the penultimate phase.
