Nominated Member of Parliament David Ole Sankok now claims that the ongoing romance between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga is a mind game.
Speaking on Tuesday, the Jubilee parliamentarian claimed that Uhuru solely reached out to Raila early last year to suppress his opposition and cage him.
He termed it a psychological game where one uses a trick to give the troublesome party a role that not only quells their rebellion but also that of their colleagues.
Sankok claimed that Uhuru did the same to force Raila into dropping his 'noisy character' while using the calm currently witnessed in the country to deliver his campaign promises.
"Uhuru simply played with Raila's psychology and succeeded in beating him," he said.
"He identified him as the chief troublemaker and decided to deal with him. Now he has been deployed to deal with fellow noisemakers and the results can be seen," added Sankok.
He was speaking on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha.
The parliamentarian noted that the technique can be attributed to some of the ongoing projects across the nation and the political peace being enjoyed.
"Initially we had no chance to concentrate on development because of the trouble that was coming from Raila and team but we are now having the opportunity to work," he insisted.
Raila and Uhuru reached a truce on March 9, 2018, in what they termed mechanisms to eradicate the political tension that was being experienced at the time.
This was after Raila rejected Uhuru's twin reelections, leading to demonstrations by his supporters and finally his mock presidential coronation on January 30 2018.
