The request comes days after the National prayer breakfast at Safari Park.

Addressing a congregation at the African Inland Church (AIC) on Sunday, Kalonzo disclosed that NASA co-principals would have a meeting with Odinga to clarify the matter."We must sit down and ask our brother Raila whether he has moved on or whether he is still with us," he stated.

It is bad manners to talk while eating," the senator said.On his part, ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi Highlighted the need to include all leaders from across the country in the dialogue.
