By NATION AFRICA More by this AuthorThe Kenyan government and the opposition have struck a compromise to revive stalled bipartisan talks and avert protests planned for Thursday, even as the factions separately closed ranks on contentious proposals. The Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja One Kenya on Wednesday called off Thursday’s protests after the ruling Kenya Kwanza-led government withdrew Eldas MP Adan Keynan from its bipartisan talks team. In a swift rejoinder, Kenya Kwanza leadership in parliament responded by removing MP Keynan from the committee. Mr Edwin Sifuna, a member of the bipartisan committee who is also the secretary-general of the opposition ODM party, said they welcome the move by Kenya Kwanza. While Mr Ichung’wah and Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi supported calls to establish the opposition leader and prime minister offices, they differed on the route to amend the constitution to create them.
