Paila, however, unequivocally denied these claims, stating that he has not been part of any such meetings as some media outlets purport.
"I have, therefore, held no meeting with any envoys as reported by some media outlet," Raila said.
While Raila temporarily deals with his health challenges, the coalition's representatives, Hon Opiyo Wandayi and Hon Jeremiah Kioni, have taken up the mantle to address pressing issues.
