Otiende Amollo: Ruto could have personally invited Raila for dialogue rather than tweet

The lawmaker also explained why the bi-partisan talks could have failed, alleging that the Kenya Kwanza team was unserious.

"The bi-partisan talks were a way of cooling down temperatures and taking us around in circles. When we pulled out of the talks and now they have seen that the protest waves are stronger than the first, that's when they want us to come back," he added.

Otiende said that their counterparts in the bipartisan committee were never serious about it since it was his team that initiated every step of the talk.

"Then they accepted talks as a way of buying time and cooling things. Our colleagues were very keen on postponing things even when we demanded that we give ourselves 21 days to finish the talks; they demanded 90 days instead," he said.

Otiende cited a lack of seriousness on the other team as they "did not call the talks in good faith and were not committed."

A 14-member team had been constituted to hold joint bipartisan talks that were meant to discuss key issues that the opposition had raised.

Last month, Azimio withdrew from participating in the talks citing non-compliance from Kenya Kwanza.
