Ruto, Raila dialogue teams arrive at Bomas for talks

Members of the National Dialogue Committee have arrived at the Bomas of Kenya to continue with talks over various issues raised by the Government and Opposition.

All members of the teams are present save for Embu governor Cecil Mbarire, who is the deputy leader for the Kenya Kwanza side.

The talks continue amid calls from some leaders to drop some of the agenda items for discussion.

Some Azimio politicians have also been urging the Opposition to pull out of the talks.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachangua has said the audit of the 2022 presidential election results should be dropped from the National Dialogue Committee agenda.

Gachagua said there is no constitutional provision for auditing the election as the Supreme Court pronounced itself.

Last week on Friday, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino told the Azimio's side in the National Dialogue Committee to pull out of the talks.

Babu said the talks were pointless as the government has not shown any commitment to addressing the high cost of living.

The mandate of the committee is to facilitate dialogue and consensus building and recommend appropriate constitutional, legal and policy reforms on issues of concern to the people of Kenya.
