Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has said that President William Ruto might be going back to the start after Azimio leader Raila Odinga made new demands ahead of the dialogue.
Raila on Sunday called off mass protests after an appeal by President Ruto to pave way for a bi-partisan approach through the parliament.
But in a statement on Tuesday, Raila said the bi-partisan approach through the parliamentary way would not yield much.
He suggested Koffi Annan-like talks that came after the post-election violence in 2007-2008.
In a rejoinder to the developments, Ngunyi said Ruto's move to pave for dialogue has made Raila demand more.
"Give Raila an inch he will take a mile. Now he wants the bi-partisan dialogue to be like the Kofi Annan talks of 2008," he said.
"Dear Ruto: Do you have a plan? Or should the plan be "...Not an inch more: Not an Inch less"? You are back to the drawing board my Friend!"
In his statement Tuesday, Railas wanted non-MPs included in the bi-partisan approach.
This he said was resolved after he met a host of Azimio leaders.
"It is the resolution of this meeting that a purely Parliamentary process will not serve the intended end, our suggestion is to have a conversation at the national level through a process akin to the 2008 National Accord," the statement reads in part.
Azimio also proposed that a team be drawn from its ranks both in Parliament and outside Bunge and that the cost of living issues should be a top priority.
"To this end, the coalition proposes a team drawn from its rank both in Parliament and outside Bunge. We want it to be a process that are people driven."
He at the same time said there was a need to prioritise the cost of living as an urgent matter that needs to be solved.
"This meeting agreed that the high cost of living is urgent and can't wait. We know our people are suffering, somebody who does not know that doesn't live in Kenya," he said.
Other issues of priority by Raila are auditing of the servers as well as reforming and reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission which will be necessary for future elections.
