Debate on whether the country needs to have a national dialogue has been on going. The leadership of CORD first tabled the proposal at Uhuru Park during a public reception for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga on his return from a long tour of the US.
But in an effort to bastardise the proposals, the Jubilee coalition leadership tore in with arguments and tried to redirect conversation around it to minimise its importance to Kenyans. President Uhuru Kenyatta trivialised the matter further by turning it into a “cup of tea at State House” sideshow.
