Odinga also talked about the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal whose cost he claimed was grossly inflated.

Feuds aside

On his part, DP Ruto dismissed the criticism as his allies resolved to shoot down a bill backed by ODM chairman John Mbadi on harambees.

Dr Ruto and Mr Odinga have been feuding over money donations, where they discredited each other’s leadership record.

Meanwhile, during the dinner, President Kenyatta expressed satisfaction that South Sudan had prioritized the search for a sustainable political solution to the conflicts.
