Ruto from the very beginning set up the bipartisan talks to fail according to Jubilee vice chairman David Murathe.
Embattled Jubilee vice chairman David Murathe claims that President William Ruto deliberately set up the Azimio and Kenya Kwanza bipartisan negotiations to fail.
Murathe claims that Ruto merely consented to the negotiations in order to relieve the strain brought on by the opposition’s weekly rallies.
He asserted that Ruto’s appointment of lawmakers from the Azimio side who have sworn allegiance to him to negotiate on behalf of the Kenya Kwanza was an intentional attempt to scuttle the process.
Mr. Murathe who is also Uhuru’s ally insisted that Ruto and his people had no good intentions from the onset when they proposed to have the talks.
He affirmed that the protests return on May 2, as had been announced by the Azimio side.
“The talks were never meant to succeed. Appointing a Jubilee or Azimio member to be part of the Kenya Kwanza team in negotiations was actually to spite the entire process,” Murathe said.

“These guys had no good faith. They never intended to do it… they were looking for an excuse to reduce the steam from Maandamano and I want to assure them that next week May 2, we’ll be there.”
The Jubilee vice chair noted that the reason the Opposition wants the talks held outside Parliament is to have more players involved, including civil society, and subject the process to public participation.
His remarks come after on Tuesday, President Ruto and Raila’s troops in the talks had a sharp disagreement, which led to the halting of the process indefinitely.
The two sides were unable to strike a deal on the inclusion of Eldas MP Adan Keynan and his Pokot South counterpart David Pkosing to the panel.
