Bipartisan Talks Team Agrees on Three Issues

The National Dialogue Committee Thursday reached a consensus on three issues they were deliberating on.

They included the two-thirds gender rule, the entrenchment of the office of Prime Cabinet Secretary and creation and funding of the office of Opposition leader, and fidelity to political parties.

The 10-member Committee co-chaired by Kimani Ichung’wah (Kenya Kwanza) and Kalonzo Musyoka (Azimio) also said it will conclude deliberations within 60 days.

The committee said that it will prioritize the reconstruction of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC and the auditing of the 2022 General Election.

In September, the committee said it would prioritize electoral issues during the talks, including the reconstruction of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the auditing of the 2022 General Election.

The team was also looking to discuss issues around the National Government Constituencies Fund (NG-CDF), the National Government Affirmative Action Fund, and the Senate Oversight Fund.

The bipartisan talks team was given 60 days by the Senate to report its findings.
