[File, Standard]A showdown looms ahead of Monday when bipartisan teams from Kenya Kwanza and Azimio La Umoja meet for a fresh round of talks aimed at resolving differences between the government and the opposition. Friday’s spat on the meeting venue and time for the first meeting has further signalled that the talks may drag out beyond the 30-day window period. However, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wa said the co-chairs would sit and agree on the meeting venue and time. According to the agreement, the bipartisan committee shall stand dissolved upon presentation of the final report by mutual consent of the parties. “If the parties cannot agree within seven days of suspension of the talks, either party may give notification of dissolution of the talks,” states the agreement.
