Ruto, Raila talks only path to national healingTuesday, August 1st, 2023 05:00 | By Alberto LenyThe fate of the Kenyan nation lies in the hands of God and two men – President William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance leader Raila Odinga. While the nation is pregnant with anticipation that the two leaders’ talks preceding honest all-inclusive dialogue for peace, national healing and reconciliation, will finally start, serious doubts persist. By luring scores of Azimio MPs to his Kenya Kwanza political faction to secure a majority in Parliament, Ruto emasculated the independence of the Legislature. President Ruto needs to demonstrate statesman qualities as a national leader and engage with Raila in an atmosphere of mutual trust for the sake of national healing and reconciliation. The two leaders have worked politically together before and should not find it difficult to streamline their differences into a cause for national redemption.
