Junet Mohamed: Tangatanga is dead!

Pro-BBI MPs now say the overwhelming vote in support of the BBI on Thursday night can be summarized as the death of DP Ruto’s Tangatanga movement.

Junet Mohamed: Tangatanga is dead!

According to the BBI secretariat co-chairman June Mohamed, Ruto should be worried after getting no vote from Nyanza, Coast, and performed dismally in areas where he has claimed massive support such as Central.

The pro-BBI lawmakers said the BBI Bill support by 235 members in the third reading should worry the state officers, being the number required to uphold an impeachment motion.

“Yesterday, according to me was the death of Tangatanga politically. The choice was between wheelbarrows and prosperity; between this bottom-up something and unity,” Junet said.

He said the Deputy President’s performance is waning by the day and the fact that 83 MPs voted in the first round and only 63 in the second round “must ring a bell that things have changed.”

“These numbers can lead to other things. These numbers can make someone lose his job. We don’t want to go that direction because we want to focus on peacebuilding and bringing Kenyans together,” Junet said.

Further, the BBI secretariat co-chairman said they are now waiting for the Senate to conclude so that they can plan the referendum.
