President Uhuru Kenyatta's continued silence and apparent non-commitment on the realization of the content of his March 9 truce with opposition leader Raila Odinga is a blow to the Orange party chief.
The head of state has seemingly succeeded in avoiding the issue since the deal was sealed and has proceeded with his operations as the nation waits eagerly for the outcome.
Despite Odinga's two references to the truce as the nation's savior, the first instance being during a public lecture at the King's College in London and at a recent burial ceremony in Busia county, he has been left all alone, with the President staying off the matter.
This has brought out the image of a leader who has been tricked and boxed and could be headed for another betrayal, an embarrassing situation for a leader of his age and political experience.
It has further embarrassed him before his supporters who were expecting a lot from the truce, which was also thought to be a route to a constitutional change in an attempt to revert the nation to the parliamentary system, a debate which has since cooled off.
Almost three months down the line, no changes have been witnessed by the citizens as was expected after the surprise meeting, with the 14 member reconciliation team tipped to spearhead the changes going silent too.
This has further worked against the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader whose quarters has been vocal on the issue, terming the reconciliation as the way to go, attracting unnecessary attention and hopes from Kenyans.
The President's side, however, has apparently remained on the safe side, with Odinga coming out as a failure who has once again lost to Uhuru and the ruling Jubilee party, after giving it the legitimacy he had withheld.
