Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has exuded confidence that the Building Bridges Initiative will move forward.
Speaking on Saturday, during the burial of former MP, Jakoyo Midiwo, Odinga said he has confidence in the battery of lawyers representing those supporting the BBI at the Court of Appeal.
"We are confident that through this competent team we are going to succeed. The BBI is going to move forward," said Odinga.
The team of lawyers is led by Siaya Senator James Orengo.
A few weeks ago, five High Court Judges sitting in the case 'David Ndii And Others vs The Attorney General and Others' declared the entire BBI process unconstitutional.
