Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga will on Friday hold a crucial meeting of the opposition coalition's top brass to review the progress of the National Dialogue talks.
This is after Raila on Tuesday chaired another all-important session attended by some of Azimio's leaders to evaluate the ongoing Bomas dialogue.
During the meeting, the Azimio side of the dialogue committee briefed their principals on the progress of the talks amid reports of concerns over 'orchestrated delays'.
While the Friday agenda remains scanty, a senior Azimio leader confirmed to the Star that the coalition could make a major announcement about the talks.
''We looked at a progress report from the Azimio delegation to the dialogue team and all we decided is that we must meet again on Friday to make far-reaching resolutions,'' a senior Azimio leader.
It would be after the meeting that Raila is expected to issue what those close to him termed an 'earthshaking statement' on the way forward.
On Tuesday, the Azimio dialogue team reportedly told the principals that there were inordinate delays in the talks that must be addressed to meet the deadline.
The meeting was attended by Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Others were the five members representing Azimio at the talks and four members of the technical committee.
The 10-member committee was given 60 days to deliberate on the issues raised by both Kenya Kwanza and Azimio and then prepare a report that will be tabled in Parliament.
However, the committee has already consumed two weeks without getting into the substantive issues for dialogue, raising fears that they are being bogged down.
''Expect a major announcement on Thursday or Friday on the way forward because we believe that we are only marking time,'' an Azimio member who is in the delegation said.
During Tuesday's closed-door meeting, the team was also concerned with some Kenya Kwanza bigwigs who have been attacking the dialogue team and rubbishing some agenda.
They resolved that the Kenya Kwanza leadership and President William Ruto be asked to openly rebuke those undermining the talks.
The Azimio brigade took issue with remarks by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to the effect that the dialogue team should drop the audit of the 2022 polls from their agenda.
While speaking over the weekend, Gachagua said that the dialogue team should not entertain any discussions about the audit of the 2022 general elections.
''Discussing the 2022 presidential elections should be dropped. Let them proceed with the other agenda items. Let them talk about reconstituting IEBC and embedding the office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary,'' Gachagua said.
