In a surprising revelation, Azimio Chief Raila Odinga has disclosed that Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu came to Kenya two weeks ago to mediate the bi-partisan talks with the Kenya Kwanza faction. However, the mediation efforts fell through as Suluhu was left waiting for two days without any progress made.

Speaking to the international media on Tuesday, Raila Odinga shed light on the behind-the-scenes attempt at resolving the political crisis in the country. He expressed disappointment over the failed mediation attempt, stating that Suluhu's visit was not made public.

According to Raila, he and his team were ready to engage in talks, but the other faction, presumably led by President William Ruto, was not available. Despite the setback, Raila remains committed to resolving the crisis through dialogue and urged for patriotism in finding a solution.

The political standoff between President Ruto and Raila has caught the attention of various parties, including international leaders like President Suluhu. Raila mentioned that other individuals have also tried to mediate the talks, but President Ruto has reportedly refused such attempts.

Raila reiterated that Kenya is facing a serious crisis that demands immediate attention and collaboration to find a way forward. While President Ruto has held at least three meetings with Raila, there has been no tangible breakthrough in the negotiations.

The revelation of Suluhu's unsuccessful mediation attempt highlights the urgency of finding a resolution to the political impasse in Kenya. The country's stability and progress depend on constructive dialogue and cooperation between the different factions to address the challenges at hand. As the nation grapples with its current state, it remains to be seen if further efforts at mediation will bear fruit and pave the way for a more united and cohesive future.
