Former National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition strategist David Ndii has slummed the handshake deal between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Raila Odinga.

The economist took to his twitter account on Sunday, November 10, attesting that the peace contract between Raila and Uhuru has outlived its meaningfulness.
“I worry for my compatriots clinging to the Builind Bridges Initiative (BBI) like dear life when they wake up to reality that handshake has not only outlived its usefulness, it’s been overtaken by events. Uhuru has nothing to gain from fighting Raila’s political battles. Use, dump, that’s the name of the game,” Raila’s former ally said.

You aren’t hearing me. You did’nt listen when turn around was possible. We passed tipping about a year ago. Now its either Ethiopia (regime change) or Sudan (revolution) scenario. I advised Raila not to jump into sinking ship, he disagreed. Choices. Consequences. https://t.co/C8C35O1o6S
