Political analyst Herman Manyora now suggests Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka could be on a wild goose chase as he co-chairs the national dialogue.
The opposition to which Kalonzo belongs is engaging the government on an array of matters.
Stewarding the government side is Kikuyu MP, who is also the National Assembly majority leader, Kimani Ichung'wah.
According to Manyora, the talks are below Kalonzo's status and he thus should leave it Ichung'wah's equals.
The analyst in a tweet implied that Kalonzo could be cornered by Raila who might have realised a 'deal' with Ruto behind the scenes but just using the dialogue to cover up.

He says Kalonzo might end up losing it all as Raila secures what he might have longed for a while.
The talks held at the Bomas of Kenya has made progress lately after a bout of push and pull over the matters to be discussed by the two sides.
"Kalonzo Musyoka! Run, run. Run away from Bomas, and while outside look inside and you will see Raila Odinga delivering you to the slaughterhouse," he said.
Manyora claimed the talks are being used as a trap to preoccupy Kalonzo as his political senior 'cuts a deal' with Ruto, his longstanding political nemesis.
The analyst counselled the former vice president to exit the talks and leave them to Opiyo Wandayi, the Ugunja MP and leader of the opposition in parliament.
"Bomas is a trap. Abandon that position to Opiyo Wandayi who’s at Ichung'wah's level. Thank me later," he said.
Senate Speaker Amason Kingi had also cast doubt on the objectives the dialogue is aimed at achieving.
According to him, the after-effects of the high cost of living cannot be alleviated by people meeting.
While evaluating the issues outlined for the talks, Kingi said most of them are to politicians' benefits at the expense of Kenyans, adding that they are already pending in both houses of parliament.
"I have been in this space long enough to observe something, nothing will come out of this talks, but from the plan the president has," he said.
Kingi stated that issues like the two-thirds gender balance, and the creation of the Office of the Opposition Leader, which constitute the items to be discussed, had already been seized by the legislators.
While Kenya Kwanza had listed the reconstitution of the IEBC, two-thirds gender rule, and the creation of the Office of the Opposition Leader, Azimio wanted, among other things, the escalating cost of living, audit into the IEBC servers and issue of police brutality in the recent anti-government protests to be addressed.
