NASA leader Raila Odinga has said that President Uhuru Kenyatta has not reached out to him after his swearing-in about two weeks ago.
During an interview with Sunday Standard, Raila insisted Uhuru nor his emissaries had approached him for dialogue.
"There has been no attempt at all," the opposition leader said adding that he was open to talks with his main political nemesis.
"It takes two to tango. You cannot negotiate alone," he added.
As he spoke, Uhuru has ruled out engaging him in dialogue on electoral reforms.
Speaking in Murang'a County on Saturday, the President said the election period was over and it was time for opposition leaders to join Jubilee in uniting the country.
"Kenyans want to see our country moving forward and that is the dialogue we want to participate in. Politics can wait until 2022, you will dialogue with William (DP Ruto) when I will be leaving office," Uhuru told Raila during the burial of the mother of Murang'a County MP Sabina Wanjiru Chege.
But the former Prime Minister has maintained there is need for dialogue to save the country from "an imminent, fast-approaching abyss'.
"Anybody who does not acknowledge that we have a crisis does not live Kenya. The difference between now and the 2007 crisis is that people are not killing each other but it is the police killing civilians," Raila added.
