Here are reactions to this historic meeting:

What a time to be alive in Kenya when Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta & Baba Raila Odinga have agreed to reconcile the Country. Have always remained steadfast that Kenya belongs to all & no one tribe or tribes are special & no tribe or tribes are children of a lesser god ...#NewDawn4Kenya- Donald B Kipkorir

So Uhuru Kenyatta now refers to Raila Odinga as my "brother", not "Mugoroki" or "madman?" William Ruto has not called Raila choice words? And Raila has not used proverbs on Ruto and Uhuru? Has sobriety now taken over at the top political leadership ?- Saddique Shaban @SaddiqueShaban

I congratulate @UKenyatta and @RailaOdinga on their powerful gesture to working together to move Kenya forward - Governor Anne Waiguru
