Reactions After the Meeting
Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi hit out at Uhuru Kenyatta after the images of the two-meeting surfaced stating that he was wasting Raila’s time.
According to Ngunyi, Uhuru failed to help Raila secure the presidential seat in the 2022 general elections and would not help him secure any other political seat.
“Uhuru is keeping Raila busy, taking him nowhere. If he could not make him President in 2022, what will he make him now? This is a trap.

Another user on X added that Uhuru was no longer an asset to Azimio asking him to take a back seat in the political scene.
“Uhuru Kenyatta is no longer an asset to Azimio and his leadership position in Azimio does more harm than good to the coalition.
“He should take a back seat in both Azimio and Jubilee,” another user added.
On the other hand, some applauded the move noting that the government had already failed Kenyans anyway.
“It’s important that the country listen to these great leaders now that Ruto’s government is unable to deliver to Kenyans and are always stuck in the past thus blaming Uhuru for the inability to deliver, ” stated Tom Muhanda.
Uhuru Meets Ambassadors
