Speaking during a public discussion, Omondi said the country was facing serious political tension after the youth-led demonstrations that spread across different parts of Kenya.
According to him, Uhuru became concerned about the growing unrest and feared the situation could worsen if leaders failed to find a solution.

Omondi said Uhuru personally asked Raila, popularly known as Baba, to meet Ruto and discuss ways of stabilising the government and calming the country.
He explained that the former president believed dialogue between the two leaders was necessary to avoid further division and uncertainty.
The Gen Z protests attracted thousands of young Kenyans who were unhappy with the high cost of living, taxes, unemployment, and government policies.
In many areas, protesters clashed with police, leading to injuries, arrests, and destruction of property. The demonstrations placed the government under pressure as calls for reforms increased.
According to Omondi, the talks between Raila and Ruto were not about politics alone but also about protecting the country from further instability. He said national unity and peace were more important during the difficult period.

His remarks have now sparked fresh debate among Kenyans, with some supporting the reported efforts to promote dialogue while others question the involvement of former leaders in current political matters.
Neither Uhuru, Raila, nor Ruto had publicly responded to Omondi’s claims at the time of publication.
