Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has raised a political storm in Mt Kenya over claims that a handshake between President William Ruto and Opposition leader Raila Odinga is inevitable.

The MP alleged that Ruto could shortchange Mt Kenya region, including Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, in ongoing bipartisan talks.

Wamuchomba further claimed Ruto was following in the footprints of his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta which culminated in the handshake with the ODM leader, which preceded the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
