This came hours after Raila Odinga called off antigovernment protests that had been going on for the past two weeks.
Raila, the head of the opposition, said the suggested bipartisan approach by Ruto would be the same to dictate if the protests would be back.
“Should there be no meaningful engagement or response from Ruto to our counteroffer, we are set to resume our demonstrations after one week,” the Azimio One Kenya Coalition leader added.
President William Ruto on Sunday urged opposition leader Raila Odinga to call off the ongoing anti-government protests which were set to enter the fourth day on Monday.
In a televised address from State House, Nairobi, the Head of State said he had listened to the opposition’s demands, among which has been a halt to the ongoing recruitment of commissioners to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
“I have listened to the issues raised by my friend, the Honorable Raila Odinga, in times like these, it is not about who is right or who is wrong,” he said.
