Commitment to dialogue welcome

The picture of Langata MP Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki shaking hands during a break at a recent meeting shows that dialogue has been given a new lease of life. It is Raila, who keen to make amends with the president, went out of his way to get the president's ear. Certainly, this is not the same Raila who at one time was making a plethora of demands and calling for snap elections. This is a peaceful new look Raila. He has seen that what Kenyans want is dialogue and peace and not sabre-rattling.

Let us hope that with this, Kenyans will learn that politics is a game of give and take. Let us put aside our political differences and develop Kenya.
