Behind-the-scenes negotiations involving Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji led to the bipartisan talks that ended the hostility between President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Multiple sources revealed that President Ruto initiated the talks through Mr Haji, who led a team of five in discussions with a group of three from Mr Odinga’s side.
The discussions, which saw cases filed against opposition leaders dropped unconditionally, began two days before the press briefings and gained pace on Sunday, April 2, to forestall demonstrations that would take place the following Monday.
