In that regard, he shared a specific message with President Ruto stating:

"Continue discharging your duties as the duly elected president of the republic of Kenya without fear or favour but work with the opposition to ensure economic recovery, social cohesion and political stability." 

To Raila he summarily said:

"However much aggrieved you feel, you concede that short of a disruptive revolution we have a flat accompli as to who is the President of the Republic of Kenya. Further, I beseech you to use your considerable experience  and influence to help existing Institution such as Parliament to bring necessary changes as we look to the future."
