Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has revealed that he is ready to meet President William Ruto if invited by the Head of State.

In an interview with the media on Monday, Uhuru hinted that he was ready to bury the hatchet with his successor which dates back to when he had a handshake with ODM leader Raila Odinga.

"On President Ruto, I can't invite myself to talk with him but if he reaches to me he is my Prezzo (President) and I will go," Uhuru said.

He hinted that the meeting would grant him an opportunity to offer counsel to Ruto who is currently facing a backlash from the opposition over high taxation and cost of living.

Uhuru said he used to seek such counsel from his predecessors. 

"I went to Moi and Kibaki to seek advice," Uhuru said.
