He went on to take issue, in specific, with the BBI Bill proposal which had sought to increase the number of government positions.

Sentiments which have been raised by various other Kenyans who commented about the BBI initiative.

Declaring that he is a staunch supporter of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga, Mr Ouma opined that the former Prime Minister had been ill-advised to initiate and support the bill.

Ouma went on to warn the Azimio La Umoja presidential flagbearer that some of his supporters were disappointed with him over the BBI project.

"Raila must go back to the drawing board, he must come back to his senses and go back to the Raila we used to know, not this Raila who is being controlled like a robot," the Mombasa resident stated.
