President Kenyatta, Billionaire Jimi Wanjigi Bury the Hatchet
President Kenyatta and billionaire businessman Jimi Wanjigi have buried the hatchet following Friday meeting.
Citizen Digital reports that the two political adversaries ended their differences during President Kenyatta’s visit to opposition leader Raila Odinga's rural home in Bondo, Siaya County on Friday morning.
Kenyatta arrived at Odinga's residence for breakfast with Odinga, his elder brother Oburu, Siaya Senator James Orengo, Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga and tycoon Jimi Wanjigi.
The President was in the Nyanza region for two days as part of continued efforts to unite the country following his March 9th handshake with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader.
Wanjigi has in the past accused President Kenyatta of prosecuting him for bankrolling Odinga's 2017 presidential campaigns.
The tycoon made the remarks after a team of detectives drawn from the Flying Squad, Special Crimes Prevention Unit and General Service Unit (GSU) carried out a 72-hour raid of his home in Muthaiga estate.
During the operation, authorities say they recovered seven firearms including a military grade M4 assault rifle as well as 600 rounds of ammunition.
“It is an unjustified siege that is premised on nothing else but persecution. I am an innocent man as I stand here; everything that you have seen from police is a complete fabrication. Whatever was found here in this home, as they are trying to publicize, are licensed firearms,” Wanjigi said after the raid.
“It is a complete and absolute persecution. If it was not for the will, strength, and prayers of Kenyans, many of us will not be standing here today.”

A chain of handshakes is in order for the "Old boy's club" to maintain their empires and dynasties. The empires bankroll the dynasties and in return the dynasties protect the empires. The rest of us tunameza mate!
Don't get me wrong, I am peace loving citizen. But so the 2017 elections animosity was a side show to rally the mwananchi one way or the other , but not the third way? I think the henchmen need to know better that these leaders are one and the same so do not spread animosity on their behalf. Let the spirit of handshake spread on it is holiday season, happy holidays!

Surprised to note that @Guest 1, Diana and Victoria were not invited to this morning bash. With all the hate they spew on Mwakilishi and tribalism? Sad. All this was prompted by the need to have two gikuyu men bury the hatchet in Bondo. Cant get more interesting than that.
Ha ha ha spot on !

The Golden handshake has brought all the bourgeisies together under one roof, to consolidate their capital,and power,and in the process, their feuds have miraculously dissipated.They wine,and dine while the common man eats mtura na ugali on Xmas.
Let's see what the handshake will for the masses.Hopefully the common man will be able to each ample nyamachoma,and stay away from "kumi kumi" while relaxing with imported liquor for a change.
If truly prayers are answered, I would like the handshake to declare prices of food,and transportation slashed by 45% for two days.christmas,and boxing day.Let wananchi also have something to remember the handshake with.Lets december 25,2018,be remembered as the UNFORGETABLE CHRISTMAS HANDSHAKE.
Could mwakilishi pass my prayers to the two handshake gurus.
