Azimio leader Raila Odinga has listed four demands ahead of dialogue with President William Ruto.

Speaking on Tuesday at the Azimio Parliamentary Group leadership press conference, Raila said that Ruto must address the high cost of living.

"This meeting agreed that the high cost of living is urgent and can't wait. We know our people are suffering, somebody who does not know that doesn't live in Kenya," the former prime minister said.

 

He said that Azimio will not rest until the matter of the high cost of living is resolved.

The opposition boss added that Kenya Kwanza should reform and reconstitute the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission which will be necessary for future elections.

He added that there should be fidelity and the spirit of multiparty democracy in parliament.

Raila said that out of all the issues laid in public, the high cost of living must be addressed urgently.

He added that other areas to be considered include the composition of the Bipartisan Committee, the Implementation of the recommendations, and the Involvement of leaders outside Parliament.

Raila has, however, insisted that if President Ruto doesn't take Azimio seriously, they will go back to demonstrate.

He said they are focused on the outcome of the truce and will not be swayed.

"We assure our people and Kenyans that our eyes are firmly on the ball, and reiterate that we shall go back to the people as the earliest sign of lack of seriousness by the other side," he said.
