Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta used his State of the Nation Address on Thursday to rally support for the report of the constitutional reforms taskforce amid mounting pressure to have some of its proposals revised.
The president said that the changes proposed by the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) taskforce last month will help defuse volatile ethnic politics, spur equitable development and fight corruption in the country.
