Kenyans have reacted to the Ann Waiguru- Raila reunion years after their divide which was caused by a court case; the Kirinyaga County boss sued the former Prime Minister over utterances he made linking her to the loss of millions of shillings during the first National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.
Waiguru accused Raila for recklessly tarnishing her name and demanding and public apology. Raila however refused to apologise, withdraw his statements and said he welcomes the opportunity to prove his accusations in court.
This now remains their past after their rosy meeting today. Waiguru says that the fruits of the handshake lives on and the two have decided to leave their disagreement behind in the spirit of cohesion and reconciliation in the country.

During the meeting the politicians also reviewed the status of devolution in the country and agreed to exchange views frequently on how to address the challenges that come with it.
Is this a game plan for the 2022 politics? It is not all rosy after all.. Kenyans have displayed their emotions online saying that it is not enough that the two made peace. Although some have applauded this move, critics are always stand by; have a look at the reactions.
This means you admit @RailaOdinga was right and what he said was nothing less than the truth. Now settle the matter with taxpayers too by refunding.
