Nominated Member of Parliament David Ole Sankok is of the opinion that President Uhuru Kenyatta might now concentrate on courting the remaining opposition leaders.
Uhuru has so far managed to reconcile with opposition leader Raila Odinga and Wiper party chief Kalonzo Musyoka who challenged him in the 2017 general elections.
According to Sankok, Uhuru will have it easier reaching a truce with Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula after taming the leading Odinga.
‘’Tayari Uhuru amewinda na akamshika Simba mwenyewe, juzi alimkamata Chui, kilichobaki ni hawa wengine (he has already tamed the top ones, the remaining ones will be easy to woo),’’ he said on Radio Citizen's 'Mjadala Wa Citizen Thursday morning.
The lawmaker also congratulated the two opposition figures for shelving their political differences with Uhuru and uniting with him for the sake on development and national unity.
He added that the series of reconciliations, especially the earlier one with Raila on March 9 has given the government a suitable environment to deliver on its promises.
‘’Mpango wa serikali ilikuwa kupata nafasi ya kufanyia wakenya kazi ili nao wafurahie matunda ya ushuru wanaolipa (the government’s plan is to get an oppotunity to serve Kenyans and enable them see the value of their taxes),’’ he added.
Consequently, Raila and Kalonzo have both earned themselves international roles, with Odinga taking over as the African Union head of infrastructure and Musyoka the head of peace mission in South Sudan.
