Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has broken silence after President William Ruto extended an olive branch to him to hold talks.
Speaking on Wednesday, July 26 during an interview with Al Jazeera, Raila said the President is not sincere with the talks.
The opposition leader said President Ruto should have contacted him using his telephone number instead of using social media.
“The President is not really serious, If he wanted to meet me he would not have invited me through social media. He knows my address he knows my telephone number and everything. He is basically just playing games. That is like a public relations exercise,” said Raila. ‘

The opposition leader went on to say if President Ruto was serious with holding talks he would have turned up when Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu came into the country.
"I mentioned yesterday that two weeks ago, the President of Tanzania Suluhu Hassan, came here to Kenya at his invitation and she spent two days here wishing to bring us together.
"He actually rejected and refused even to meet her. That was a big humiliation if he was serious in terms of negotiating that was the time we would have met and started this conversation," Raila added.
President Ruto on Tuesday evening announced he is open for talks with Odinga once he jets back from Tanzania where he will be attending a human capital meeting.
"My friend Raila Odinga, I am off to Tanzania for a human capital meeting to harmonise the expansion of employment opportunities in our continent. I am back tomorrow evening, and as you have always known, am available to meet one on one with you anytime at your convenience," he tweeted.
