"The frequent handshakes and artificial formations have vindicated President Kenyatta and Prime Minister Raila on the BBI initiative. They were right and we were wrong," Ruto's advisor penned.
"I urge President Ruto, President Kenyatta and Prime Minister Odinga to close ranks and lead the nation in picking from where BBI flopped and give this country a Constitution that speaks to the emerging realities of our nation and our society. BBI Season 2 is urgent and can not wait."
On the other hand, he called on the Mt Kenya region to rally behind Uhuru Kenyatta and the Jubilee Party.
Kuria remarked that the region needed to have a party that would push for its agenda, adding that leaving the former ruling party was a mistake.
"For all the good and bad lessons we have learnt, it was a mistake to leave the Jubilee Party. However, it is not too late," Kuria advised.
"We will now embark on bringing all the political parties with a footing in the region together under the Jubilee Party. We did it in 2016 when we dissolved parties to form Jubilee. We will do it again. Jubilee under President Kenyatta as the Party Leader is the way to go."
