The political differences and division among key parties cannot be understated even as the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) presented its report seeking to bridge the divide.

The bitter rivalry played out during the BBI report launch at the Bomas of Kenya when Senator Kipchumba Murkomen publicly accused the organisers of bias and an alleged exclusion.

In particular, Murkomen took issues with with the protocol and comments attributed to the day's master of ceremonies and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed.

In one of his off-the cuff remarks, while inviting the Senate Majority Party Leader to the dais, Junet jokingly said the forum was not meant to discuss party issues.

"I will like to invite Senator Kipchumba Murkomen. Today, we are discussing the BBI report. If there is any problem with the Jubilee government, it is upon them to sort it out. We are not party to it," Junet said, alluding to two Jubilee factions.

The political temperatures flared immediately Kipchumba pointed out the programme organisers had intentionally planned to leave out those initially opposed to the initiative.

"We must have an honest discussion here. Even the way Junet is running the program is not good, we must make it an honest discussion. It will be a lie to leave this stage without saying this programme has been skewed to leave out other people. We have come here to seek national unity," an agitated senator said.

The visibly angry senator ran into trouble with the attendees who jeered and booed him while asking him to leave the podium as the cameras focused on the him.

An adamant Murkomen continued to speak his mind prompting the BBI task force chairperson and Senator Yusuf Haji to jump to his defence.

It took Haji's intervention to restore order and the Jubilee politician resumed his speech but with a more restrained tone.
