Deputy President William Ruto has insisted that consensus on the contentious issues in the Building Bridges Initiative report can be reached even after signature collection launch.

Ruto, who tweeted hours after President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga launched collection of signatures in preparation for referendum, said Kenyans should be given a chance to express themselves.
