The meeting between Raila and Uhuru caught many by surprise. The Grapevine has learnt that those who got wind of it, including a number of Cabinet Secretaries, senior Jubilee Party leaders, and a few Opposition leaders rushed to Harambee House when they heard Raila was there.

They were shocked when security there blocked their way to the second floor, where the meeting was taking place saying they had no such instructions.

Raila’s visit also caught some CS’ operating from Harambee House by surprise. Some officials went to a colleague’s office within the building where they tried to decipher just what was going on between the political bigshots.

Despite their head scratching, they were unable to, of course, until the two leaders let the cat out of the bag.
