Lawyer Ahmednasir Dismisses Calls For Raila, Ruto Reconciliatory Talks

Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has rubbished calls to have ODM leader Raila Odinga sit down with President William Ruto for talks.

In a tweet on Monday, the Lawyer appeared to suggest that there is nothing for the two to discuss to warrant a dialogue.

"I really don't get those calling for dialogue between President Williams Ruto and Hon Raila Odinga. What will they talk about...the weather? Arsenal winning the Premier League? A young lady using the "F" word against Jakakimba? Or DJ Fatxo and his 3rd-rate Kampala-trained lawyer?" the lawyer posed.

His reaction comes in the wake of calls by a section of leaders on the need for Ruto to hold talks with Raila.

Among the leaders who have made the calls is Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.

Sakaja on Sunday implored President William Ruto to invite Raila for talks so that the planned protests can abort to allow Kenyans to work on their needs.

"Noone wants a handshake/Nusu mkate but we must acknowledge all leaders. You must be able to hear what are their legitimate concerns. In very tough times even from the time of President Moi, decisions have been made that are bigger than an individual. This is our country all of us and everyone must be made to feel as Kenyan as the other person. The politics of exclusion are not politics of Kenya Kwanza," Sakaja said.

"I have not asked for a handshake but a discussion. Everyone should be heard. We have only one Kenya. No annexe," he added.

However, DP Rigathi Gachagua has been clear that no talks will be held with the opposition.

He has maintained that President William Ruto's government won't allow a handshake.
