President William Ruto troops in the bipartisan team on Thursday termed Azimio move to walk out of the talks premature and unnecessary. The government side also accused the opposition of creating unnecessary roadblocks on the path of the bipartisan talks. The Azimio team has been coming up with demands and counterdemands as well as issuing threats yet we have on several occasions bent our rules and gave in to their demands,” the Tharaka MP stated. It is a waste of time.”Before suspending talks, Azimio demanded cessation of invasion of coalition affiliate parties especially Jubilee Party, preservation of IEBC presidential servers and reducing the high cost of living. “The country cannot continue to operate for long without IEBC commissioners in place, we are ready for talks,” Murugara said.
