President William Ruto's top men are opposed to his talks with Opposition leader Raila Odinga, saying they will only serve to derail the government agenda.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amason Kingi have warned the president that his talks with the Opposition leader are a waste of time because he has not even recognised him as president.
