According to Aukot, BBI is already being implemented and there are signs like the "deliberate violation of the Kenyan Constitution" under Article 30 that speaks of the Executive, the President, the Deputy, and his Cabinet Secretaries. Aukot claimed that the president had expanded the Executive against the provision of the Constitution.

"The Constitution cuts the cabinet at thirty-two. Principal secretaries are now forty-three. The president also went ahead to appoint fifty-three CASs. He has also created an office called the Chief Cabinet Prime Secretary. He has clearly violated the provisions of chapter 8." he said.

According to Aukot, the principle in BBI was that there was a need to accommodate regional representation and bring Kenyans together. "The president has instead of simplistic inclusion, appointed failed politicians who were his political supporters when he should have appointed the hustlers who qualify for these positions and have no jobs in the country."

Aukot further added that the Azimio demos were about the 2022 Election and that the Raila-Odinga-led coalition has yet to move to court on the opening of servers.

Mr. Aukot added that dialoguing is just a conduit Kenya Kwanza wants to use to quiet Odinga because of his large following.
