Tuesday, July 25, 2023 –President William Ruto has agreed to meet with the opposition leader Raila Odinga, face-to face.

Addressing claims made today by Azimio la Umoja boss Raila Odinga who told international media that Ruto was not ready for any kind of ceasefire, Ruto has responded with a positive answer asking Odinga to meet him for a one-on-one agreement.

“My friend Raila Odinga, am off to Tanzania for a human capital meeting to harmonise the expansion of employment opportunities in our continent. Am back tomorrow evening, and as you have always known, am available to meet one on one with you anytime at your convenience,” Ruto announced.

Today Tuesday July 25, the former prime minister who was addressing international media in a televised event from Nairobi, accused the William Ruto administration of deliberately dodging talks despite efforts from foreigners to meet the two.

Odinga went on to claim that, two weeks ago, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu was frustrated in the country when he arrived to meet with President William Ruto.

Mr. Odinga claimed that President Suluhu was kept waiting for days before she decided to throw in the towel and led left back to her country.

“Mama Suluhu came here two weeks ago at the invitation of President Ruto to mediate between us but she was kept waiting by the other side; she spent two nights here but it was all in vain,” Odinga claimed today in his press briefing.

And now with the admission of the head of State to meet face-to-face with Mr. Odinga, from tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how this puns out.

This is happening even as the Bipartisan committee today expanded the membership of participants whereby other players will now take part.

Co-Chair Otiende Amollo would, however, respond saying he is not mandated to decide on behalf of his coalition and, therefore, he will not be available for talks unless asked by his bosses to resume the bipartisan table.
