President William Ruto has affirmed his willingness to enhance oversight of the executive through the creation of the office of the leader of the Opposition.
The President said the powerful office would enable the opposition to discharge its oversight mandate within the confines of the law and the Constitution.
''I have no problem with our brothers in the opposition but they should operate in accordance with the constitution,'' Ruto said.
Speaking during a church service in Bungoma on Sunday, Ruto said he is committed to ensuring that the leader of the Opposition has a fully functional office.
''If they want the office of the leader of the Opposition, I am ready so that the government of Kenya funds that so that they can issue statements from morning to the evening to criticise the government,'' he said.
''When they criticise me and I find that I have made some mistakes, I will correct that.''
The entrenchment of the office is part of the issues that the Kenya Kwanza camp has tabled for discussion by the National Dialogue Committee.
The committee is expected to sign its framework for dialogue this week in a bid to officially start the talks between Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja Coalition.
''We have absolutely no problem with our brothers in the opposition, they have a constitutional responsibility to discharge,'' Ruto said.
The President, however, said that his administration will not accept chaos, anarchy and destruction of properties in the guise of oversight.
''I will not accept the destruction of public and private property through chaos and protests and sabotaging the economy, that I will not accept,'' he said
''That is unconstitutional, illegal, undemocratic and against the rule of law, so we must all agree to live within the law.''
