Kenyan Governor Fernandes Barasa has urged President Ruto and opposition leader Raila to engage in unconditional dialogue without the involvement of DP Rigathi Gachagua. Raila’s decision to call off mass protests was seen as a reciprocal gesture towards Ruto’s willingness to engage in dialogue. Barasa said that the involvement of Gachagua may lead to other issues.
However, Raila emphasized the need for quick and meaningful progress in discussions on the issues raised. Alinur Mohamed claims that both Raila Odinga and William Ruto are secretly planning for a handshake and have given Kenyans signs. According to Barasa, Rigathi Gachagua has been acting weird in the past few days and therefore he should not be involved.
In light of these developments, it remains to be seen whether the proposed dialogue will materialize and lead to meaningful progress toward addressing the challenges facing Kenya. Ruto and Raila are set to have a secret dialogue that is oriented towards the betterment of the Kenyan economy.
