Intentions

According to Ruto, he did not believe Mr Odinga had good intentions when he reached out, a view he still holds to date.

The DP further divulged that aside from sending emissaries, Mr Odinga made two particular phone calls that raised red flags for the DP.

"On two occasions we spoke on the phone and I could hear the trend, 'oh, well, you know the president has begun to appoint ministers...' and I explained to him that initially we were running a coalition but today we have one party and the president is the head of this party," said the Deputy President.
