”As Nairobi Governor, I call upon the two leaders to sit down and come to a mutual agreement as far as working together is concerned. And if it is about 2022, let us make handshake line ups.

He keenly observed that in 2017 elections, Raila an President Kenyatta were on two opposing camps, but immediately after the handshake, the two leaders embraced each other, a move that helped cooled political temperatures in the country.

Sonko Proposed a creation of a committee that is going to bring the two leaders together adding that he is willing to gather for all the costs that the committee will need in order to facilitate this move.

Sonko observed with concerns that by leaders each using their close political confidants to spat venom and incite each other, Kenya is definitely going to its state in 2007. He also called on them to involve church leaders as this will ease the tension and bring them together.

”Ruto and Raila should control their words in public as they will ignite hate among their followers who in the end will cause violence in the country that has been witnessing peace” he said.

This came even as the two leaders continue to throw jabs at each other with Raila accusing Ruto of masterminding the Grand Corruption scandals that are currently being witnessed in Kenya.
