President Uhuru Kenyatta and his ODM counterpart Raila Odinga on Tuesday jetted back to Country separately after attending the second Belt and Road forum in Beijing.
However, Sources say the two had held private meetings in Dubai since Saturday, but details of the same were scanty.
Officials who asked not to be named, said Uhuru and Raila had regular meetings in Dubai since Saturday evening.
“We don’t know what they were discussing, but they met many times,” said an official.
An earlier planned trip to Saudi Arabia by the President was cancelled.
Chief of Staff and Head of the President’s Delivery Unit, Nzioka Waita, confirmed the Saudi Arabia State trip did not materialise and will be rescheduled later in the year.
“Half of those the President was going to engage are preparing for Ramadhan. We will, therefore, reschedule the visit,” Waita was quoted by a local Daily.
The leaders’ reported meetings fueled speculation. Most of their handlers did not attend the meetings at a private hotel in Dubai.
This came after the two failed to secure a Ksh 368 billion for the Construction of SGR Phase 2B, an extension of the railway from Naivasha to Kisumu.
What do you think could have dominated in their private meetings in Dubai before they jetted back?
