As Kenya marks the first anniversary since the famous handshake between the two foes-turned-friends, President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a myriad of questions have continued to arise.
Is there a concealed agenda behind the political ceasefire between the duo?
Since the March 9, 2018, handshake at Harambee House, the duo have buried their political differences and merged to promote peace, security and economic development in the country.
The handshake, however, has done more harm than good to Deputy President William Ruto who has since then felt a stranger in the Jubilee government.
