Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's ODM party has climbed down and eventually agreed to share political parties' funds after four years of a standoff. It was, however, not immediately clear if a 2022 deal between Raila and Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka was in the offing. A tough-talking Kalonzo has ruled out playing second fiddle to anyone in the next year's polls despite ODM unveiling the cash. He, however, said the discussions between the two leaders were centred on resolving the dispute over the Political Parties Fund. He thanked ODM for agreeing to share cash from the Political Parties Fund.
