Cherangany Member of Parliament Joshua Kuttuny on Saturday disclosed that he was the one who convinced President Uhuru Kenyatta to dialogue with National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga.
"You all know that I have strong links with President Uhuru Kenyatta and all along I have been trying to convince him to meet with Raila Odinga, to which they actually did it, am now happy and we should all work to support them in reuniting the country after the last general elections," said the Jubilee MP.
Speaking in Cherangany, he further noted that he would help mediate between Odinga and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, who was stripped of his position as the minority leader in the Senate.
The former presidential advisor, however, faulted the former Prime Minister for sidelining his counterparts in the Opposition following his meeting with the head of state.
"You know Raila had his three brothers, Wetang’ula, Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) and Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), but after reaching Canaan it is not a good picture that he has decided to eat fruits alone," Kuttuny.
"I will talk to him so that he cannot forget Wetangula and the others," he stated.
The vocal MP further said that the agreement between Kenyatta and Odinga should not create political hostility within the opposition's camp.
“The four principals were in the cold together but I am disappointed after getting 'a small meal' from Uhuru, Raila now does not want any of the NASA principals to move near him,” Kuttuny noted.
