Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition Leader Raila Odinga has urged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to stay away from the bipartisan talks and let the team come up with solutions to problems facing the nation.<\/p>\n

Addressing the funeral of a Mamau Veteran John Njigoya Kagwe, alias Brigadier Kiboko, which was attended by DP Gachagua, Raila asked the DP to keep off the talks.<\/p>\n

“Let Kalonzo Musyoka and Kimani Ichung’wah have the talks. You(Rigathi Gachagua), President William Ruto, and I should stay out of the ongoing talks. There is nothing wrong with engaging in talks,” he said.<\/p>\n

Raila said Azimio La Umoja is ready to engage in talk and focus on taking the country forward in one accord.<\/p>\n

The ODM Leader also refuted claims made by Gachagua who alleged he had secretly met President Ruto in Mombasa over talks.<\/p>\n

“Mimi nilikutana na Ruto lini? Ata kama Riggy G hataki kusikiza maneno yangu, lakini sikiliza tu, hakuna ubaya ya watu kuzungumza. Usiwe na wasiwasi, sisi hatutaki nusu mkate, sina haja na kazi kwa serekali, kaa polepole,” he said.<\/p>\n

This is loosely translated to: Did I meet President William Ruto? Even if Gachagua does not want to listen to me, let him just listen now. There is no harm in having talks, don’t be worried. We don’t want half of the government in matters position, we are not interested, stay steady.<\/p>\n

Gachagua had claimed that Raila had already gotten what he had been pushing for from the Kenya Kwanza government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2018, Raila left Kalonzo, met retired President Uhuru Kenyatta and had a handshake. All development projects went to Nyanza, you still voted for him,\u201d Gachagua said at a funeral in the Ukambani region.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe recently looked for the President, never involved Kalonzo but only talked of his wife, children, people and himself. Nothing in talks. What\u2019s Kalonzo talking about on your behalf? He has been given the agenda by Raila. What\u2019s the talks about?\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to claim that Raila had asked for a a share of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaila wanted us to give him a handshake and three ambassadors but we said no. We told him, if you want some little money, we can discuss it,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n
