He, however, maintained that the talks must be based on sincere deliberations anchored on the rule of law.

In a rejoinder, Raila termed Ruto's statement as 'important" and a "positive" development.

"We acknowledge Mr Ruto’s olive branch for a dialogue on key issues raised by Azimio La Umoja. To us, this is a positive development.

I believe that Kenya is today facing its worst crisis in decades out of which we could recover or go the way of other failed states." Raila said.
