Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's decision to  sign a pact with President William Ruto. 

While some marveled at the prospects of the new union finding solutions to the country’s teething problems, others claimed it spells doom for Kenyans and gives Ruto a nod to force through his unpopular policies. 

In Raila’s support bases of Nyanza and Western, some residents claimed the region is set to benefit from the new working union and praised Ruto for eating a humble pie and opting to work with the opposition.
