The Azimio la Umoja Coalition has released a list of members of its dialogue committee who are trusted to lead talks with President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Coalition.
According to a statement issued on Monday, July 31, the five-member team will be led by Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Other members include National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, DAP Party leader Eugene Wamalwa, Nyamira Senator Okong’o Omogeni, and Malindi MP Amina Mnyazi.
“Our position remains that no party to these negotiations can claim a right to determine for the other what to raise and what not to raise.
“Azimio will respect Kenya Kwanza’s right to bring all its issues to the table. We expect Kenya Kwanza to do the same with our issues,” read the statement in part.
The main issues to be tabled, according to the opposition, are the high cost of living, the audit of the 2022 General Election results, and the bipartisan reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Committee (IEBC).
Others are inclusivity in national affairs and constitutional respect for political parties.
“Azimio is keen on a time-bound programme of talks that should take one month beginning August 1, 2023,” added the statement.
