Senate Minority leader Senator Orengo has defended the Building Bridges Initiative which is a national initiative working to identify and promote, practise and policy that will create closely and coordinated partnerships and collaborations between families, youth and community.

He has told off fellow politicians opposed to the constitution review,advising them to first study inorder to understand the BBI.

“Some are already criticising proposals to expand the executive saying it is aimed at benefiting certain people. This is wrong,” he said.

The Siaya Senator was speaking yesterday at St Stephens Cathedral Church in Kisumu, during the 25th memorial of  former Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

He called on more Kenyans to submit proposals to the BBI team, saying the suggestions were still subject to debate.

“There should be absolutely no reason for someone to pour cold water on the suggestion about the expansion of the executive,” he said.Orengo told critics of constitution review to allow Kenyans decide on the way they want to be governed.

He exuded confidence that the BBI team that has been tasked with collecting views on proposed law changes was up to the task.

Speaking in the same forum, former freedom fighter Gitu Wa Kahengeri, who led a team of former Mau Mau fighters to the memorial, supported calls for constitution review saying this would unite the country.
