President William Ruto team in the bipartisan talks has appealed to Azimio to reconsider their stand on the stalled dialogue a day after the opposition called off Wednesday street demonstrations. We are calling on Azimio side to confirm if they are ready for the talks. “The absence of good faith is still there, more importantly, I am not in a position to comment because my authority was withdrawn when the talks were suspended,” Otiende said. “I was the chairman of Azimio bipartisan team, when it became clear there was lack of good faith, we were instructed to suspend the talks and withdraw and that is what we did. However, Otiende told a press conference that all the matters identified by the bipartisan team have not been vacated and should be the basis of any talks.
