President William Ruto now says that he is open to holding one-on-one talks with opposition chief Raila Odinga.
In a Twitter statement on Tuesday, while announcing that he was jetting off to Tanzania for a human capital meeting, Ruto extended an olive branch to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance frontman.
“My friend Raila Odinga, I am off to Tanzania for a human capital meeting to harmonise the expansion of employment opportunities in our continent,” said Ruto.
“Am back tomorrow evening, and as you have always known, am available to meet one on one with you anytime at your convenience.”
Ruto’s move comes hours after Raila claimed that the head-of-state thwarted efforts to mediate a political truce between Azimio la Umoja coalition and the ruling Kenya Kwanza.
