Mr Odinga said the meeting at Kilaguni Lodge fell apart because President Kibaki’s team refused to discuss issues pertaining to the management of the Grand Coalition.

He said the agenda of the meeting was to focus on the achievements and the shortcomings of the coalition. He said there was too much monopoly on the President’s side, with one-sided public appointments.

Solved amicably

The PM at the same time hit out at Government spokesman Alfred Mutua saying he was fond of giving press statements on government matters without consulting the authorities.

On Migingo Island, the PM reiterated that the island belonged to Kenya but said the dispute would be solved amicably. He, however, said the island belongs to Kenya and failed to understand why Uganda was after the island despite the fact that together with Tanzania they own more than 90 per cent of the Lake Victoria.

“Why should we fight because of fish? There is no need of going to war,” he said.

    Raila please grow up and respect the symbol of our country's sovereignty. the man you are calling a juakali artisan is your president and mot the other way round. What will happen if Kenyans ever made the mistake of making you the president?
