Kenyan Vice President hosts lunch for President and main opposition leader

Share

Deputy President William Ruto on Friday hosted President Uhuru Kenyatta, opposition leader Raila Odinga and businessman Jimi Wanjigi at his private residence in Karen, Nairobi, in a move seen as opening a new chapter in the now on, now off relationship between the State and the shadowy businessman.

The meeting could also signal a rapprochement between Mr Ruto and Mr Odinga, who have been critical of each other in recent months.

  1. That is the mark if true leadership, some one who won elections without fear and fears nothing, not this corrupt theif lungu we have in Zambia……

    • Kenya is just one unique country, last Africa cup qualifier game, i was shocked to see odinga as one of the officials in stadium greeting the players before the game started, here every pf cadre would have screamed TREASON!

    • Tell your hh and Upnd to humble themselves if hh and his party to hold were the opposition in Kenya, they would behave the same way they behave in Zambia. The opposition there respect the rule of law despite high levels corruption and Chinese working every where. The opposition never insult the sitting government or boycott the national gatherings but your Upnd and your wamuyaya always insulting everyone, insults is your no one item on your agenda refusing to attend national gatherings, simply because your hh is not happy. You have failed to provide credible checks and balances on the government but always crying for attention like a baby. No wonder they call you under 5 now l understand. Shame on you.

    • Ba muzo kateule sit down , you have very little knowledge about this unique Kenya, one Presidential election they had to settle election dispute in the streets and ghettos using knuckles and panga , Uhuru had to bargain with odinga and make him prime minister, that’s the unique Kenya for you. And you want to cheat that they follow rule of law.

    • Ruto is rich, richer than Huru. But as not more than HH. So it’s difficult to fit GMB in that NOTHING to do with us Kenyan meeting.
      HH is the 2nd richest Zambian. But,
      HH is the top, namba 1 black richest Zambia.
      Soon he be the richest African. Better be before he is president, so we don’t mix his success with corruption.

    • You study the independence history of Kenya you will find that both ondinga and Uhuru’ father’s jomo Kenyatta and oginga ondinga were playing the same political games the children are playing.

    • These are true leaders not these two egotistic fooools we have in Zambia….then our Vice President is just a senile old hen waiting to be put to pasture simply there as a token.

    • The smart people of the Zambian Enterprise set the standards for others to follow. We don’t lead from behind, we are always ahead of the curve.

      We do our thing the best way we know how and pretty soon we will be the envy of African democracy by any standards.

      Let the Kenyans do their thing and we will continue doing our thing the smart Zambian way. Surely, how many people died soon after that election in Kenya before these guys could stand here smiling??

      And how many people died in Zambia after our election even though we are not standing together smiling?

      I would pick the Zambian model all day, all night because we are smart enough not to be killing each other just because we don’t agree with each other.

    • Really langhable…JUNIOR what Zambian model is that? Running the bill and having talkshops in Siavonga…always in idyllic Teletubbyland this JUNIOR.

    • People can disagree on Principles but are never Enemies. This is Lovely. It is possible because of the Current President Uhuru has No Pride. “Lungu should change and extend his hand to HH” let him do it and if HH refuses then we will know that he is not fit to rule Zambia.

      HH and Lungu are BOTH very selfish People.

    • And how many people died in Zambia after our election even though we are not standing together smiling?
      What type of a silly question is that JUNIOR? Now you are using body bags as the yardstick for a successful elections. These two leaders are way passed that and they also have an independent Judiciary to depend on ..where in Africa has a Supreme Court nullified General Elections which has been approved by International Observers like the UN? You are here typing drivel with a straight face without shame about smartness…you think you are talking to that kid who blindly cheers you on and strokes your ego…the boy always trolling on LT.
      Wake up from your folly..by the way how is the National Airline launch going? Really laughable Jokers

    • THE PRINCE – These Kenyan men are very rich businessmen and astute second generation politicians not joyriders who have no vision of what to do or what they want.

    • Both PF and UPND should read this and learn from Kenya.
      Bo Inonge, how about organizing similar event between ECL and HH?

    • That’s African and third world politics for you. Leaders will smile and hold hands after insulting each other, their followers in the meantime will be dying in the streets fighting one another while their leaders have long reconciled and are busy telling jokes and laughing.

  2. It is because in that country the rule of law is respected more than here where a petition can be thrown out on a silly technicality even when the defending pf claim to have won. If you won something why not just allow the petition to be heard? If you are so confident why are u scared? Only the guilty are afraid

    • I haaate Kenya. After seeing how they kill each other after elections.
      I even stopped supporting their runners.
      I can’t admire anything about that country. Nothing.
      But I like Jese Were and his friends at Zesco United.

    • Tekanya boi.You posses untamed zeal

      Let see if he will win in 2021. You will cut my finger. It will just be another petition. Just make sure you submit your ground s with 14days this time.

      If you understand basics of demography you will accept that 50+1 works against a regional leader.

      In addition gbm is excess baggage. Most of us swing voters see gbm as a threat to national security.

      Am a non partisan political consultant. I would like to meet you one so that I guild your political party

    • NÈZ NEW EDUCATED ZAMBIA – No wonder you can not sit down still talking about a train that left 2 years ago…does your musungu wife not tutor you about reconciliation like the Boers did to Mandela?

    • @ its political I think we in the UPND will pass on your offer to “guild” our political party. How can I have confidence in a consultant who cannot spell simple words. As the party’s chief strategist I can confirm that at the moment we have no need for a new consultant.

      As for the lost buffon going by the name jay jay, I cannot understand what you are going on about. You have again decided to answer or respond to your own imagination. You are the chaps who were failign exams because you chose to answer your own question which you studied for rather than what was been asked..

    • Brother NEW. you have been a strategist yet upendi has been losing WHY?

      Answer: Because you concentrate on irrelevant things like spellings.

      Thats why you failed to submit your case within 14 days

      I used to be good at spelling when I was in grade Seven 7 . And I can spelling mistakes in what you just wrote.

      Am a non partisan political consultant

  3. Well done Kenya ,now we want to see the Ruto spirit in Zambia also .HH and GMB can you host president Lungu and Kambwili for dinner at your house?

  4. Zambians tekanyeni. Pakanwa. Kenya is a savage country. They kill tu swine opposition like Tongas. There the tribalism is deeply & properly entrenched – you are not from a certain tribe you get no votes. And they panga you. Kenyans in that regions are rated like Nigerians in thuggery, all their neighbours don’t trust them. Nama Sando bad.

  5. ZAMBIA IS NOT KENYA. WE HAVE OUR OWN PECULIARITIES THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM KENYA. IN KENYA YOU CANNOT HAVE AN OPPOSITION LEADER BLOCKING THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE. OTHERWISE YOU CAN JUST DISAPPEAR IN THIN AIR AT THE HANDS OF STATE AGENTS.

    • Yes you wont hear of Opposition leader blocking the President’s motorcade as the Kenyan Secruity Service will not allow it and will prevent it from happening either by taking a helicopter or not risk peoples lives by forcing their way on a gridlocked small road.

    • Yah right but in Kenya you can have an opposition leader who installs himself as president and the real president just ignores that, does not send the police to beat up and arrest the opposition leader and his supporters now that is what i expect from a Christian leader and not an eye for an eye so my dear in Kenya the opposition don’t just disappear in thin air at the hands of the state agents that is a lie.

    • Muchimba – Exactly now that is Treason ..swearing one’s self as a Head of State in Zambia he would have been in front of firing squad.

  6. EDGAR LUNGU PLEASE EMULATE YOUR BROTHER AND HOST A DINNER FOR THE TRUE WINNER OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

    • Have you seen Kenyatta in a photo with Lazy Lungu …he even taps Lazy on the head as he knows the man is so useless that he would never even contemplate appointing him in his Kenyan cabinet ..remember that Kenyatta is a lawyer as well.

    • You can not compare these dumb average politicians of ours to Kenyans. There is a world of difference between Kenya and Zed politicians. Its like comparing the power of a Range Rover to that of a Hyundai.

  7. You think HH can agree to dine with Edgar. Please remember a coin has two sides. HH doesn’t want to play second fiddle to anyone. As for being the richest man in Zambia that’s that’s his business and has nothing to do with other people. Unless riches can make one to decide when to die, it is not even worthy discussing.

    • It is actually the other way round because I have seen HH humble himself to go and greet Maama Esther Lungu and I have seen him leave his seat to go and greet Edgar Chagwa Lungu at the funeral of the late Daniel Munkombwe. My question to you is can Edgar Chagwa Lungu do the same? The answer is he can’t because he is not humble as he claims to be and he is not a Christian, he is Moslem and Moslems are full of hate and practice the principle of an eye for an eye.

    • You’re as bitter as HH. Edgars family is Christian. I knew his late grandfather who was a member of the Reformed Church of Zambia. If RCZ is Muslim then Lungu is Muslim.

    • @Ndanje
      Muchimba has given you some facts and you call him bitter, those are PF tricks, once confronted with facts you divert attention to calling others bitter. Your stories about knowing fimo…fimo..are irrelevant. Be a man, and stop such si.lly. excuses of Edgar being a Christian.

    • kiki this Ndanje boy is a rifraff. here he goes again claiming that he knew the grandfather of Lungu. Lungu is aged over 60 meaning lungu’s grandfather would have been about 120 years old today.. and yet Ndanje knew him kikiki. Those of us that keep up with current affairs know that lungu was interviewed in south africa a couple of years ago when he proudly said that he does not drink with certain people he labelled as enemies i.e guy scott et al..
      For all those that dont know Ndanje, a couple of years ago he claimed to be a staunch UPND supporter and even went as far as to claim he had a member card. I challenged him as I knew he was a fake wannabe upnd member whose sole aim was to bring to disrepute our party’s reputation. forward few years later, just as i predicted, the chap is a…

    • Ba General as far as I am concerned being a Christian or something else doesn’t make one perfect. What facts? I’ve told you the church Mr Lungu the grandfather attended but you go wild. Even the people among which Jesus Christ are not as crazy about him like you blacks.

  8. Kenya makes you proud to be an African. Those brothers are unique, sharp and smart. The moment you step into Nairobi you feel your whole africanness visit you. There is no place like Kenya, no place like Nairobi, no Africans like Kenyans. Kudos my east African brothers.
