Three MPs from Mt Kenya region now want President Uhuru Kenyatta to offer NASA leader Raila Odinga a job.
This is after the duo met last week, Friday where they agreed to push for national unity, cohesion and reconciliation.
Led by Moses Kuria (Gatundu South), the lawmakers argue that national reconciliation and healing will be hastened if Raila is in government.
According to the MPs, Raila agreeing to meet with President Uhuru Kenyatta last week showed that he has no ill feelings against the Jubilee administration.
“The President should find something for the former Prime Minister so that we can quickly push the national healing and reconciliation agenda” Moses Kuria said as quoted by a local daily.
The legislators noted that Uhuru-Raila meeting kick-started the healing process among divided Kenyans.
“We Know Kenyans are sharply divided by last year’s election and the meeting between Uhuru and Raila last week came at the right time,” Paul Kimari of Mathioya said.
Kimari added that it is time for Kenyans to shelve their differences and push for a common agenda.
He said that matters election come and go but unity is what matters most.
Thika lawmaker Eng. Patrick Wainaina also lauded Uhuru-Raila political pact.
Speaking to journalists at his Thika office on Monday, the Jubilee MP said that last week meeting signaled a change in the country’s political landscape.
He said that the fact that Uhuru and Raila agreed to bury their political hatchets and talk for unity indicates that they are statesmen who value their country.
Wainaina called on the other NASA co-principals Moses Wetangula, Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi to follow Raila’s move and be part of the unity and reconciliation in the country.
On Monday, NASA principal's during a summit meeting in Athi-River are reported to have agreed to push for wider dialogue and reconciliation with the Jubilee government.
