President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga yesterday met for the first time since the presidential re-run that was boycotted by the opposition alliance.

The two political nemeses, together with Chief Justice David Maraga, whose ruling on the August 8 presidential election precipitated the fresh polls, were among the hundreds of Kenyans who attended the first centenary celebrations at All Saints’ Cathedral.

The service was presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican communion, Justin Welby, and Archbishop of the Anglican Church Jackson ole Sapit.

Though only the President-elect was given time to address the congregation, Raila appeared jovial from his body language. He greeted Uhuru and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta after he received a book of the cathedral’s history at the pulpit.

The former Prime Minister was seated two rows behind Uhuru, who, together with the First Lady and Chief Justice Maraga, were in the front row.

The above photo has ignited mixed reactions and here is what Kenyans had to say;
