President William Ruto has set the record straight, insisting that there will be no Handshake between him and Opposition leader Raila OdingaHe explained that as much as he is ready to work with leaders from different political divides, there is no room for a Handshake. "Niliwaambia wenzangu wa upinzani kuwa sina shida na mazungumzo, bora wasiseme mambo ya Handshake," Ruto said. Speaking on Sunday at State House, President Ruto noted that his administration needs a strong, vibrant opposition to check government. The President also said he was against handshake because, in that situation, the government hides some figures from the public." Holding the state to account, Ruto said, works for everybody including the citizens, government and opposition, as they all become part of the success.
