On Sunday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua reflected on his discussion with US Senator Chris Coons and revealed that he had declined an invitation to speak with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
On "Kiririmbi" on Inooro TV, DP Gachagua asserted that Senator Coons, who had advocated for dialogue as a means of resolving the crisis in Kenya, was not able to explain why Trump had a word with Vice President Biden in the wake of the most recent US election.
According to Gachagua, who ruled out the likelihood of a handshake between Raila Odinga, the head of the opposition in Kenya, and the Kwanza government, the United States read from a different script to resolve its political issue.
"I told him yes, I would also like for peace to reign in Kenya...but why did you not invite him and give him half the government after Trump lost and there was a lot of unrest in America?" he asked. A posed Gachagua.
Did you read this?
I instructed him to inform Raila that we would not meet for talks and that, if he wishes to do so, he should speak with his MPs to speak with our MPs.
There will probably not be any dialogue outside of the suggested bipartisan interactions in parliament, according to DP Gachagua's remarks in the interview from Sunday.
According to the DP, exchanging hands would cancel out any advantages of a democratic election.
If some individuals will show up at the polls in protest and demand a seat in the administration, why would we even bother holding elections? Gachagua, DP, argued.
No anti-government protests would be allowed in the Nairobi Central Business District, Eastleigh, or any of the city estates, according to DP Gachagua.
The Azimio coalition, which Raila leads, claims that after the Ramadan holidays, protests will resume along with the bipartisan discussions.
