Kenyan politicians have taken the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report and ran away with it, holding mammoth rallies and taking political positions. This was probably to be expected, seeing that BBI was put together to cement the relationship between political rivals, President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
However, the mission of BBI, too long and complicated to paste here, pledged, among other things, to create partnerships and collaborations between families, youth and community.
