Opposition Chief Raila Odinga is certainly walking the talk. After is handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta, the former PM made it upon himself to build bridges by brining his former political enemies on board.
It started with the likes of Moses Kuria and Anne Waiguru.
The ODM Chief now seems to be broadening his wings so that he can reach even more people as part of the building bridges initiative.
He today linked up with Nominated Senator Beth Mugo at his Capitol Hill offices for some “catching up”.
The Senator was accompanied by another of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cousin, Ngengi Muigai.
“I was happy to catch up with longtime friends Senator Beth Mugo and Mr Ngengi Muigai. The three of us have a long history dating back to the struggle for multiparty politics and a new Constitution in the 1990s,” Raila said in a tweet.

Mugo and Raila previously served in the same Cabinet during former presidents Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki’s era. Raila was the Prime Minister in the latter’s regime.
Until the March 9, 2018 handshake between Raila and Uhuru, Mugo was one of Raila’s harshest critics.
