The Azimio coalition has raised concerns about deliberate efforts from within and outside Parliament to sabotage the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report.
Despite the National Assembly’s adoption of the report on February 24, 2024, Azimio, during a press briefing disclosed that nine bills have been tabled in the House to expedite the implementation of the said report.
In a statement the opposition coalition’s alleged that forces associated with Kenya Kwanza, both within and outside Parliament, are actively working to undermine the report’s integrity.
“We notify those forces that should any efforts to undermine or tamper with the report succeed, there will be a very heavy price to pay,” the team said.
The coalition issued a stern warning, stating, “We notify those forces that should any efforts to undermine or tamper with the report succeed, there will be a very heavy price to pay.”
“Those leaders have clearly demonstrated a determination to delay, derail or even kill the NADCO report, which is a negotiated document that pulled the country out of hostilities to the peace that obtains today,” Azimio said.
“Nobody should take the present situation as a given or for granted.”
The meeting, led by Raila Odinga, took place at the Kalonzo Musyoka Command Centre in Karen, Nairobi, and was attended by key political figures including former Muranga Governor Mwangi wa Iria, former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Msyoka, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, PNU chairman Peter Munya, Roots party leader George Wajackoyah, and Minority Chief whip Opiyo Wandayi.
Azimio emphasized their unwavering position that the NADCO report must be implemented without alterations, urging the fast-tracking of bills aimed at facilitating its passage.
They called on President William Ruto to rein in his allies in both Houses and certain members of the National Executive, accusing them of attempting to derail the report.
