Raila says Kenya Kwanza send a 3rd division team to meet his first 11 in the bipartisan talks to unlock political stalemate
Raila says Kenya Kwanza send a 3rd division team to meet his first 11 in the bipartisan talks to unlock political stalemate.
In the newly resumed bipartisan discussions, Azimio leader Raila Odinga now claims that the Kenya Kwanza side send a weak team to face a stronger delegation of the opposition side.
Speaking on Tuesday in Makueni, Raila compared the Kenya Kwanza delegation to a third-division squad that’s up against a first-choice team of the Azimio.
“We have now agreed to have talks, our team is led by Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, that is Azimio’s first 11. They brought us, third division team,” Raila said.
Raila was addressing residents of Emali town where he had stopped for a brief meet and greet session on his way to the funeral of one of the protesters who died during the Azimio demos in July.
The ODM leader was accompanied by Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka among other Azimio leaders.
Raila’s remarks came amid a stalemate on the agenda of the fresh talks.
Kenya Kwanza and Azimio are yet to reach a consensus.
The dialogue teams met on Monday for talks but the meeting was adjourned before members agreed on the agenda of the discussions.

After a two-hour discussion at the Bomas of Kenya, the dialogue committee and the technical teams left without providing any information about the discussions to the media.
The Azimio delegation is led by Kalonzo with Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi, Eugene Wamalwa, Okong’o Omogeni, and Malindi MP Amina Mnyanzi as members of the five-member Dialogue Committee.
They are assisted in the talks by a technical committee led by Jeremiah Kioni with Adams Oloo, Zein Abubakar, and Isabel Githinji as members.
The Kenya Kwanza dialogue panel is led by Minority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah assisted by Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot and Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, Hassan Omar, and Bungoma Woman Rep Catherine Wambilianga.
The Kenya Kwanza technical team comprises Muthomi Thiankolu, Linda Musumba, Nick Biketi, and Duncan Ojwang.
