Makadara Member of Parliament George Aladwa now claims that he was fully aware of the March 9 truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga in advance.
In an interview on Radio Citizen's 'Mjadala Wa Citizen' early Wrdnesday, Aladwa alleged that Raila notified him that he was headed for a meeting that would change the nation for the better, hours to the handshake.
Despite protesting and then sweeping it aside as a joke, he said, he would later that same morning see the two shaking hands outside Uhuru's Harambee House offices in Nairobi.
"Raila called me in the morning that he was headed for a meeting with Uhuru but I never believed him. Hours later I saw them shaking hands and I now had to believe it," he said.
Aladwa is a close ally of the former Prime Minister, and is the Chair of his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party in Nairobi county.
The truce came at a time when the nation was almost at a standstill and stuck in political mud as a result of the 2017 twin presidential elections that Uhuru controversially won.
It led to protests from Raila's quarters, leading to a polarised nation divided down the middle.
This gave birth to tribal divisions and Raila's mock presidential inauguration on January 30 2018.
However, the duo has since promised to use their reunion to enhance peace and stability.
