Political Analyst Herman Manyora has called on President William Ruto and Opposition leader Raila Odinga to meet and talk through their differences.
Speaking on Friday, Manyora noted that he was not sure what the two leaders are fighting about that is leading to the loss of lives and destruction of properties.
"President Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga should meet to avoid further losses through weekly demos.
"I cannot see what they are fighting over," he added.
Manyora went further and argued that the meeting of the two leaders can change the current economic situation.
"If Ruto and Raila met even for breakfast, the cost of living would go down by 40 per cent," he noted during an interview at KTN News.
Following the protests on Wednesday, Raila Odinga vowed not to bow out of protests until President William Ruto addresses the real issues.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, the Opposition chief said that it was not over until the real issues affecting Kenyans are addressed.
Raila said the protests will continue until Ruto looks into the contested Finance Act, 2023.
"There is no moving on until Ruto comes out and openly repeals the Finance Act, 2023 and issues other measures to lower cost of living," he said.
"There is no moving on until Ruto agrees on the importance of bipartisan talks over the constitution of IEBC."
The ODM leader said the President should also commit to respect and stops interfering with other political parties.
"The fight for multiparty and a new constitution was so painful, so deadly and so costly that it could not have been in vain," Raila said.
He called for another anti-government protest next week on Wednesday.
President William Ruto fired yet another warning shot at the Azimio La Umoja coalition, saying his government will not permit demonstrations going forward.
Speaking in Tharaka Nithi on Thursday, the President said the protests have led to the loss of lives and properties.
"We will not allow the handshake brothers to hold our country ransom and to take it hostage by causing violence, mayhem and anarchy. Tutawakalia ngumu vile mumesema, they will not succeed," he said.
The President said that demonstrating will not put food on the table for Kenyans.
