President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked US President Donald Trump’s administration to probe the Building Bridges Initiative.
Uhuru on Wednesday said the BBI model is a unique model that should be adopted internationally.
Speaking at the Atlantic Council Forum in the US on Wednesday, Uhuru said the model provides a unique ground on how international communities make their judgement about politics not only in Kenya, but across the African continent.
He said the initiative is a key pillar to the political and social governance engineering.
“This is a home grown solution for divisive political culture that has bred conflicts. It is the best way preempt further escalation in political competition,” Uhuru said.
Uhuru said when he resolved to unite with ODM leader Raila Odinga for this initiative only a few believed it was possible.
“We are focusing on using inclusivity to strengthen the centre of politics. We want a country where leaders can have the willingness to compromise to disorient politics of extremism,” he said.
“This initiative further looks at bold reforms that advance inclusion, eliminate corruption. I there ask you as a council to delve deeper into the initiative,” he added.
Uhuru said so far other countries are seeking to learn from Kenya and as a government they have been open to sharing.
“I dare you to imagine and support African driven solution. Resist from being drawn into proxy struggle with other states and support Africa,” Uhuru said.
