As the dust settles on the recent political developments in Kenya, it is clear that the country is at a crossroads. The handshake between Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta has been hailed as a major breakthrough, but many Kenyans are left wondering what it truly means for the country.
On one hand, the handshake has given Odinga a lifeline, allowing him to keep his political career alive. However, it has also raised questions about the true intentions of the two leaders and the impact it will have on the country's politics.
