Raila Odinga's recent diplomatic setback in South Sudan, where he alleged being denied access to Vice President Riek Machar and required to seek Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's consent first, has taken a new twist.
The Office of President Salva Kiir has now dismissed the claims.
South Sudan President's Press Secretary, David Amuor Majur, denied Odinga's claim, stating that President Kiir did not send the Kenyan opposition figure to meet Museveni.
According to Majur, the claims made by Odinga were a 'misinterpretation of diplomatic norms and principles' as Kiir did not make the suggestions.
