As CoG from both Jubilee and NASA, we shall sit together with our principals to rescue the country. We don't want any more deaths in Kenya," Oparanya said.Roba said Kenya was bigger than any individual including Raila and Uhuru, thus the need for the two leaders to sit and talk for the sake of Kenya.Mutua said there should be no more bloodshed in the country because of politics, adding that there is need to amend the constitution of Kenya to make the Government all inclusive."The culture of the winner take it all has made some sections of the country feel that they have been left out. The amended constitution should create posts of Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and others," he said.Korane said leaders should work towards uniting Kenyans instead of dividing them. "Speaking on Monday, Waititu said nobody will get leadership position through the backdoor but they must fight through the ballot.
