“Met leaders from the Kalenjin community with whom we discussed issues ranging from reviving agriculture, the Building Bridges Initiative, famine in parts of the Rift Valley and how to ensure that the dams whose funds have been embezzled can be set back on track,” Raila posted. 

Raila’s meeting comes at the time when the rivalry between him and the deputy president William Ruto is at climax.

A section of Kenyans replied to Raila’s post denouncing the Kalenjin leaders that held a meeting with Raila calling them Imposters who do not belong to Kalenjin Community.

You were a better leader and influential without the handshake. Bring back the Baba we knew, loved and would gladly follow and support. Waiting!

The comments kept of flowing with many people who seem to have a Kalenjin background, denying the leadership of Sossion and Salat in Kalenjinn community.
