ODM leader Raila Odinga on Friday, April 30, 2021, met elders from the Mount Kenya region at his Karen home.

The former Prime Minister in a statement revealed that he and the Kikuyu Council of Elders led by chairperson Wachira Kiago, discussed future working relations.

 "A conversation about moving our Country forward not on the patchy path of tribal lines that have and continue to occasion annihilation," Raila stated.


Following the meeting, the former premier continued to preach peace and harmony, urging Kenyans to embrace each other regardless of tribe.

"This is the journey we are embarking on, are you willing to join us as we sit down and talk candidly?" Odinga posed.

In December 2020, the ODM leader met up with the Council of Eminent Persons of Murang’a including; chairman Joe Kibe, secretary Dr. Nyamu Njoka, James Ngethe and Royal Media Services chairman SK Macharia.

The meeting was held at Raila's Opoda Farm in Bondo, Siaya County, and was a special expression of friendship and meant to spearhead matters of national reconciliation and good governance.

Earlier reports indicated that the meeting was meant to cement the working relationship between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Odinga.

Peter Kenneth and East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) Member of Parliament Oburu Odinga were present.
