Coalition for Reforms and Democracy leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday wrote a letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta reminding him of how he frustrated his call for dialogue to find ways of solving problems bedeviling the country.

In the one-page letter sent from his Capitol Hill office, Mr Odinga talks of how the President for the last 22 month frustrated his attempt to seek audience with him to discuss specific issues about the economy and the general social welfare of Kenyans.

"It is about 22 months now since I wrote to you regarding the need for a structural national dialogue on various matters of grave national interest that faced this country then," Raila said in the letter dated May 10.

"It is with great regret that to date I have not received a response from you. Instead, even more regrettably, I have received numerous flippant and deriding remarks from senior members of your party who continue to belittle the challenges that we face in the country."

"Mr President, members of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy have found it necessary to resort to the exercise of the rights secured by our Constitution under Articles 37 and 38 to bring the attention of your administration to the dangers that this continued cavalier attitude towards the grave concerns of the 'mwananchi' portend to the future of our nation."

According to the opposition chief, the President's silence would only compound the problems facing the nation.

One of the issues Raila said in 2015 he wanted to discuss with the President is electoral reform particularly the reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

There have been calls from across the political divide to Mr Odinga to abandon protests he initiated to force Isaack Hassan and his commissioners home before the 2017 polls are held.

Although a section of Jubilee politicians have agreed to dialogue, the President has remained mum over the issue.

It is still not clear whether he would sit with the opposition on the same table to solve the problem.

Some MPs want Cord to use Parliament to disband and reconstitute the electoral body.

Cord however, says Jubilee will use its numerical strength in the House to defeat any attempts to dissolve IEBC ahead of 2017.

Isaack Hassan, the IEBC Chairman has maintained he would not bow to Cord pressure and step down.
