President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga shook hands on May 9 and announced that they will work together for the sake of national unity and development.
Mr Odinga, the leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has been termed a traitor by his supporters and some members of the National Super Alliance (Nasa) but he has asked them to trust him.
The DP alleged that the plot is to see him leave the party “the way they did way back when I was in ODM”.
The Party Leader @RailaOdinga has never been interested in meddling in Jubilee party affairs. He has never even dreamed of becoming a Member of that party. However, his resolve to work with its leader @UKenyatta to fix the country & unite the people of Kenya is unstoppable. pic.twitter.com/szRZUSMrRR

The DP went guns blazing on Mr Odinga, further accusing him of lying throughout the alliances he gets into in his political strategy.
Speaking in Kisauni where he issued 3,000 tittle deeds to residents of Majaoni Settlement Scheme, Mr Ruto said the ODM leader is also out to bring confusion and divide Jubilee and the government through “gossip and propaganda”.
The DP said he was fully aware of what the handshake was meant for as he was among those in the forefront of championing for unity.
He said President Kenyatta extended his hand after they brought the people together.
“The handshake is not a licence for you to bring confusion, propaganda and conmnaship into our party. If they have come to divide Jubilee and the government, we are telling them that we are alert and we know (what you are up to),” he said.
ODM has rubbished claims that their party leader is planning to oust Ruto from he jubilee party.
When you put the country in campaign mood all the time and dupe Kenyans with non existent projects, then you become the biggest CONMAN.
