Ngunjiri Wambugu: Uhuru, Gachagua talks will unite Mt Kenya

The move by the DP is just but a housekeeping matter and Kenyans should not read so much into it, said Wambugu.

His remarks come at a time when Gachagua's statement has sparked a national conversation.

This is because he not only said he will reach out to Kenyatta, but also asked leaders in the region to respect him; making it the first time he was heard defending the former president.

"As Mt Kenya leaders, we have agreed not to be fighting Uhuru and I'm planning to hold talks with him. I have ordered everyone to respect him and he is also doing good to keep his peace," said the DP.

The country is now eager to see if the talks will take place and their outcome.
