A Central Kenya leader allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta has maintained that the March 9 truce between Uhuru and opposition leader Raila Odinga should be given a keen look.
According to Mathira lawmaker Rigati Gachagua, Raila seems to be having a hidden motive behind his truce with Uhuru and could be behind the ruling Jubilee party's current woes.
Speaking to the Standard on Saturday, he said that he cannot fully back the truce simply because of Raila's inclusion which, according to him is suspicious.
His remarks are in agreement to a number of other Jubilee members who have also raised alarm, claiming that the former Prime Minister could be out to kill the party.
However, a number of them, for instance, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, have taken issue with Uhuru, questioning his motive.
They have wondered why he is yet to brief the Jubilee Party on the real basis on which the agreement was founded and its actual content.
"Even during the handshake moment, the former Prime Minister called his party members and explained it and every time, they have consultative meetings,” said Murkomen earlier.
Others have claimed that Raila is using his closeness with Uhuru to break the unity between Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto with the 2022 presidential election in mind.
The two are very likely to face off in the much-anticipated poll, but both Kenyatta and Odinga have rubbished the same, blanketly terming it a union to enhance development and peace.
They have maintained that it has nothing to do with the approaching political season.
