On March 9, 2018 President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga met at Harambee House, jointly addressed the press and shook hands. An action that led to praises and criticisms. This was heroic, something I call 'Epical' but with no details of what went on, something I also call 'Risky'.
"It was a good move and meant a lot to Kenyans concerning unity but what was discussed and agreed on, we don't know," Machakos based political analyst Denis Mwendo said.
The handshake has paved way for peace around the country solving differences between duo's supporters, communities, leaders and several groups of people. There are plans for peace campaigns around the country to be intervened by Raila and Uhuru. This is something heroic and rates the duo's leadership skills 10 over 10 amid their interests in Kenya's prosperity as a nation.
"Recently, Raila met several leaders from Central Kenya, some of who seem to have been his enemies. The two, Raila and Uhuru will brake enmity ties in Kenya," Mwendo added.
Mwendo spoke to this writer in Machakos town on Sunday.
The sixteenth US President, Abraham Lincoln, gave chances to leaders he had defeated in elections and formed a solid government that delivered a lot. Apparently, there are talks about inclusive government and the issue of constitutional amendment to create position of the Prime Minister. A position which might land on Raila's hands.
Raila vs Uhuru thing has a lot starting with their fathers' friendship and differences and Uhuru might think about restoring what was there between the two lineages.
"Uhuru wants to deliver because this is his last term with his big four agenda in mind, working with Raila will aid this not forget that Uhuru worked under one office with Raila in the grand coalition government," Mwendo said.
However, the handshake is risky if the duo decide to recite their differences by dwelling on their interests of being top leaders and making the government hereditary. Amid the speculations on constitutional amendment having in mind what they talk and agreed remains in they last page of an opened book. Kenyans remain in the dark about their discussion, something Kalonzo called exclusive talks.
"Uhuru worked under Raila in grand coalition, they were in the same track of 2010 constitutional change. Anything can happen and what if Raila's aim is to split Jubilee like what he did to former President Mwai Kibaki? It's totally risky to Kenyans if something bad happens," Mwendo concluded.
