Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has told off Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja over calls for a truce between President William Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
In a statement on Monday, Cherargei said they cannot allow the former Prime Minister anywhere near the President.
He told Sakaja to instead go for the handshake with Raila himself.
Cherargei said it will suit him just like he has decided to work with Azimio affiliate leaders in Nairobi county.
"Salaaale! Sakaja Johnson on this you are wrong, Tinga (Raila Odinga) shall not be near our beloved H.E Ruto you can go ahead and do handshake/hand cheque with Tinga alone the way you have done with Azimio-Oka remnants in Kanairo (Nairobi)," he said.
His reaction came after Sakaja said some few individuals were misleading President William Ruto, by telling him not to engage the opposition.
Speaking on Sunday, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja said the economy was bad enough and protests will further hurt Kenyans.
“There is nothing that can't be sorted after talks... Let's not plunge the country into a crisis. It is very easy to destroy but not build."
"The economy is tough and people are struggling and when we are picking up I think its time we talk and think of other ways because we are one country,” he said
The governor said President Ruto was a man full of wisdom and he will do the right thing.
He insisted that nothing can't be solved when people sit and talk.
