Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Thursday, April 6, chaired an Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Parliamentary Group Meeting in Machakos County.
During the meeting, the Coalition made several resolutions including the ejection of nominated MP Sabina Chege as its Minority Whip in the National Assembly.
The coalition further unveiled a team that will negotiate with the government side in the ongoing bi-partisan parliamentary talks aimed at addressing the issues raised by the opposition.
The team which comprised of three senators and three Members of Parliament is expected to meet that of Kenya Kwanza.
ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina were among those appointed to represent the opposition.
Kanu party secretary of political affairs, Fredrick Okango and Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua were also named to negotiate on behalf of Raila.
The other four were from the National Assembly, including Amina Mnyanzi (Malindi), Millie Odhiambo (Suba North), David Pkosing (Pokot South), and Otiende Amollo (Rarieda).
President William Ruto‘s Kenya Kwanza is yet to release its list of parliamentarians to engage with Azimio.
In a statement, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga asked the seven to ensure the cost of living is brought down as well as review the appointment and dismissal of IEBC commissioners ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“The joint committee should recommend measures to lower the cost of unga, fuel, electricity, and school fees and conduct a review and forensic audit of the servers used by the IEBC before, during, and after the 2022 presidential election,
“Review the appointment and dismissal of IEBC Commissioners, including their tenure of office, and recommend institutional, policy, legal, and constitutional mechanisms, restructuring, and reforms of the IEBC,” read the statement in part.
