DP Ruto has been arguing that the constitutional amendment through BBI process was meant to block his presidential bid.

Celebrating the court of appeal ruling on Friday evening, Ruto prayed that God helps his team which he termed as the coalition of the unknown, rule Kenya and engineer her economy through the bottom up model.

Ruto believes that Kenya’s economy can only be reignited by using the bottom up economic approach.

This is the narrative that he has been selling to Kenyans, ad it is the same gospel that he will be preaching in Kirinyaga.

He believes that the economy can only be revived if the low-earning Kenyans, that is boda boda operators and mama mbogas are empowered.

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has broken his silence on the ruling made by the court of appeal on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Taking to his official Twitter account on Friday evening, Raila said that the ruling is not the end of the conversation.

He noted that the parties involved will each make their own decisions on how to proceed from the decision that was delivered.

The former Prime Minister, however, revealed that he will move on.

He noted that the court’s decision is remarkable since it forms part of the continuing conversation to the political culture Kenyans will practice.

“It is likely that today’s Court of Appeal ruling is not the end of the conversation and the parties involved will each make their own decisions on how to proceed from the decision that has been delivered today. But we feel that we have to move on,” Raila tweeted.

The court of appeal on Friday upheld the high Court ruling declaring BBI process null and void.

The Appellate judges poked holes into the whole BBI process, accusing its promoters of failing to follow the right procedure.

Justices Daniel Musinga, Roselyn Nambuye, Hannah Okwengu, Patrick Kiage, Gatembu Kairu, Fatuma Sichale and Francis Tuiyott found that the process undermined the doctrine of the basic structure of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

The judges outlined three major thematic areas that were highly contested including the basic structure doctrine, popular initiative and public participation.

They noted that President Uhuru Kenyatta was the initiator of the BBI and that BBI was initiated by the political elite.
