President Uhuru Kenyatta has moved to heal political tension in the country by extending an olive branch to feuding politicians.
Uhuru, speaking during the National prayer breakfast at State House apologized for perceived political actions that may have offended his deputy, William Ruto.
But Kenyatta did not commit to stop working with Raila Odinga or implementing the BBI initiatives being pushed by the ODM leader. In a thanks giving speech delivered on State House lawns, the President appears to accommodate the DP Ruto brigade, without offering them solutions to their demands.
The President’s unconditional apology will do little to assure DP Ruto of support from GEMA and the President, which he had taken for granted prior to 2017.
The BBI report, which has caused heightened political tension in Kenya will be handed over to the President anytime. Last Sunday, two people died in Muranga during a visit to the County by DP William Ruto. October 10th was hitherto called Moi day. But it is now emerging as a national prayer day after the High Court declared the day a Public Holiday.
