The Deputy President has met with the former Prime Minister.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Friday, September 16, met with Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga in Mombasa.

The DP took to his official Facebook page to share the photos of his meeting with the former Prime Minister.

According to Gachagua, President William Ruto's government has a tremendous respect for senior citizens maintaining that he was delighted to meet Raila.

The DP, however, did not disclose the details of his meeting with the ODM leader, maintaining that it was a private conversation.

"We have tremendous respect for our senior citizens. I was delighted this morning to have a tete a tete with our senior citizen former Prime Minister Rt Hon Raila Amolo Odinga in Mombasa," Gachagua posted on Facebook.

The meeting comes after Raila jetted back into Kenya on Thursday morning, September 15, after a visit to Zanzibar, Tanzania.

The former Prime Minister said that he left the country with his family to recuperate following his loss in the presidential election.

“I have been out of the country. I went to recuperate in the Islands of Zanzibar. I took my wife, children and grandchildren also to go and heal out of the shock that they got as a family,” Raila said.

Speaking in Mombasa, Raila, however, heavily attacked the judiciary for its decision to uphold President Ruto's election.

Even as he maintained his stand on disagreeing with the ruling, Raila said that the people had the power to reform the judiciary as it was exercising donated power.

“Shame on the Judiciary of this country. We will talk. The Constitution of this country gives power to the people of Kenya and all those other people exercising power are exercising donated power. The Judiciary is no exception. If they become rogue, we have power as people of this country to reform them,” he said.
