Raila said they had met with the former outlaw to brief him on the Building Bridges Initiative and his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Though Njenga is a reformed outlaw, his heydays as the leader of the Mungiki sect which left chilling murders makes many still fear him.

Raila has however had a soft spot for Njenga.

Before the 2007 presidential poll where Raila was facing Kibaki in a do or die race, the former visited Njenga at the Kamiti Maximum Prison.

He gifted him with two books, The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene and The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
