President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga won’t shake hands, according to members of parliament from President Ruto’s party.
They expressed their opinions just hours after Ruto reached out to Raila, pleading with him to cancel the scheduled demonstrations and accept the bipartisan parliamentary strategy in light of his demands.
Speaking to the reporters on Capitol Hill , Raila referred to Ruto’s remarks as “important” and a “good” development.
“We acknowledge Mr Ruto’s olive branch for a dialogue on key issues raised by Azimio La Umoja. To us, this is a positive development.” Raila said.
“I believe that Kenya is today facing its worst crisis in decades out of which we could recover or go the way of other failed states.”
