Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi now says the yet-to-happen meeting between President William Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga is about their egos.
He said the channel of communication was not of importance but rather the choice of words used in the invitation.
Ngunyi seemingly told Raila to use the same tactic used by the President.
"How Raila is invited to meet Ruto is not important. Ruto told him he can meet him "...Whenever he is available". Raila should reply on tweeter that he is busy. But he is available to meet Ruto on Sunday at 3am," Ngunyi said.
"Dear Babaman: this is not about the cost of living. It is about egos."
On Tuesday, Ruto took to Twitter to invite Raila for dialogue.
"My friend Raila Odinga, am off to Tanzania for a human capital meeting to harmonise the expansion of employment opportunities in our continent. Am back tomorrow evening, and as you have always known, am available to meet one on one with you anytime at your convenience," he said.
Raila however dismissed the invite saying it lacked seriousness while speaking to Al Jazeera on Wednesday.
"He knows my address, he knows my telephone number and everything. He is basically just playing games. That is like a public relations exercise," he said.
He went on to say Ruto's lack of seriousness has been a long-running affair best demonstrated through the failed bipartisan talks, which the President proposed.
"He has been talking like that for a long time...I did exactly as he requested and we agreed to form a joint team to carry out negotiations on the contentious issues (but) as soon as the temperatures cooled off, they backed out," he told Al Jazeera.
"So I don't believe that Mr Ruto is serious at all. He is double speak, on one side when it suits him he talks very nicely and says I'm ready for talks any time."
