Maendeleo ya Wanawake calls for dialogue between Ruto, Raila

Officials from Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organization (MYWO) have called for dialogue between president William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga.

The women leaders asked president Ruto to reach out Odinga to evade Monday’s mass action, and end uncertainties facing the country.

Led by their national chairperson Rahab Muiu, the women who converged in Kitale on Sunday noted that growing tension in the country is dangerous and could hurt the economy.

Joined by MYWO patron, Dr Zipporah Kittony, the women noted that it is dialogue that would save the country from possible split.

"There is tension around the country and we are pleading the president to reach out to his elder brother Raila Odinga and find a solution to the concerns of the opposition," said Muiu.

Muiu led women in praying for the country, saying they don't want trouble because women and children are going to suffer if something happens.

The women expressed fear that the country is headed to a wrong direction unless the two leaders sit down and discuss the pertinent issue raised by the opposition.

She urged president to pick his phone and reach out Odinga before tomorrow for the sake of the country that could be split into two factions.
