President Uhuru Kenyatta has cleared the air on the basis of his March 9 truce with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
The two leaders surprised the nation when they reconciled, putting to rest their political rivalry as was witnessed when they faced off in the 2013 and August 2017 presidential races.
In an interview with members of the press from the Mombasa Statehouse Friday night, Uhuru made it clear that their deal was purely on putting to an end the recurrent issue of divisive politics.
He said that never at any point did they discuss or made any agreement about the approaching 2022 general elections.
"Myself and Raila have never spoken about 2022. We sat down and agreed to unite in addressing what we can do to save the nation and our people from negative politics," he said.
"We said that we cannot continue like this, we cannot watch as the nation comes to a standstill each political season," added the President.
This, he said, is the reason behind their founding of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which seeks to father information from Kenyans on what can be done to better the situation.
Uhuru said that they also discussed the current governance system which leaves a section of the nation out after each poll.
"We took a look into our winner takes it all system and wondered it lf its the right thing for our nation," said Uhuru. He, however, did not reveal the conclusion of the discussion.
He added that they have remained close and have been jointly following up on the progress of their initiative.
