The public gesture of reconciliation between Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga and their desire to move the country forward following the year-long electioneering campaigns last year is obviously a relief to many of us who have been wondering what gains a person can get by tearing the country apart just to hold on or to get to power.
The gesture can, therefore, be interpreted in the most positive way possible, even if it is difficult to tell the real motivations of our Kenyan politicians.
