Former ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi has defended his take on the BBI document.
Speaking on Monday, the Prime CS nominee said the Building Bridges' initiative had some good and toxic things.
It was a good document mixed with some toxic aspects. The reorganising of govt could be done at a less cost without going to certain levels. I never misled anybody about this issue," Mudavadi added.
On November 27, 2020 the former Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader pledged to campaign for the BBI.
Mudavadi said then he will run parallel campaigns to popularize the document after some of the contentious issues which were captured in the initial report were amended.
“ANC party now supports the BBI process and urges all Kenyans to come together and participate in this process with a view to having a smooth and basically a non-contested referendum,” he said.
However, last year in August , Mudavadi changed tune and said the three years spent in the push to change the constitution was a waste of time and resources.
"Unless everyone is involved, it will be a political elite document and not one that addresses challenges facing mwananchi,"he said then.
Mudavadi praised the Court of Appeal decision to throw out the Building Bridges Initiative.
He said leaders involved refused to listen to each other and became a "one-man choir".
