The Cord convener said that they look forward to establish a joint committee with the full weight of the coalitions and the Kenyan people behind it. "The motion to establish a joint select committee of Parliament can be tabled this week," Orengo said. Negotiations over the IEBC standoff are nearly complete, Cord announced on Sunday. In a statement, the coalition said that there were signs of white smoke above the political scenes following a near agreement with Jubilee on the contentious issues of the electoral commission. The development, Orengo said, would mean that demonstrations against the IEBC remain suspended.
