Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has remained suspicious of the 2018 reconciliation between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition boss Raila Odinga.
Almost a year and a half later, the MP says that he is yet to be given a reason as to why he should either believe or support the truce, popularly known as the handshake.
Speaking to KBC journalists after Uhuru's state of the nation address at the parliament buildings on Thursday, Ngunjiri said that until he establishes its intentions, he will not support it.
"Mimi ni kama Tomaso, hadi nione ndio niamini. Nataka nione hii handshake ina manufaa gani ndio niiunge mkono (until I experience its benefits, I will not support it)," he said.
The MP is part of the group allied to Deputy President William Ruto who have raised serious concerns that the handshake could result in the collapse of the Jubilee Party.
He added that just like the initial handshake between Uhuru and Ruto ahead of the 2013 manifested itself through the union that followed, the new one must also prove itself.
The lawmaker added that the national embracement of the handshake will depend on the amount of effort Raila and Uhuru employ in marketing it to Kenyans.
"Hakuna mwananchi asiyependa amani na kama itaweza kuleta amani basi wakenya wote wataikaribisha (if it will prove that it can lead to peace then Kenyans might settle for it)," he added.
