The National Dialogue Committee is facing a major hurdle in dealing with contentious issues revolving around the high cost of living and reconstitution of the electoral commission, amid a push-and-pull that could derail the process. This comes after the talks resumed after a week-long break to allow members to attend the Africa Climate Summit. However, Azimio wants a comprehensive review of the framework governing the electoral process, including constitutional, legal, political and administrative arrangements. It also wants an end to police harassment of its leaders and supporters and an end to politically motivated prosecutions. However, Kenya Kwanza insists that President William Ruto's administration has a comprehensive policy to address the cost of living.
