Media minced the speculation into a divergence arising from swapping of positions between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga. He told ODM that Jubilee was doing them a “favour” by donating parliamentary leadership positions to which they are not entitled. That the stalemate lasted five fruitless hours tells us how far south the bromance between Jubilee and ODM has gone. One, Uhuru needed the handshake to legitimise himself and buy peace to rule without the nuisance of an opposition. The expectation is that having helped Uhuru, Mt Kenya “Deep State” will reciprocate this support in 2022.
