Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando now says that issues raised by the Opposition for bipartisan talks are a mockery of the protests.
In a statement on Friday, Kabando said most of the issues raised by the Raila Odinga-led side are all about political power.
He went on to say that as long as bringing an end to corruption, extrajudicial killings and impunity are not addressed, then it is all politics.
He added that without seeking justice all the efforts put in demos will go down the drain.
"80% of issues listed by Azimio are on pure politics & political power. No mention of State capture inquiry or TJRC that would aid end corruption, political assassinations, extrajudicial killings and impunity. Political power minus justice is not worth the effort, mocks maandamano," Kabando said.
On Thursday, in a letter inviting the Kenya Kwanza team for initial talks, Kalonzo Musyoka who will lead the Azimio team listed five key issues for discussion.
They include the cost of living, audit of the 2022 Presidential Election Results, restructuring and reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and related matters, measures to prevent interference with political parties, and outstanding constitutional matters - governance issues, adequate checks and balances, and the question of boundaries delimitation.
The Kenya Kwanza team had also listed five issues including the reconstitution of the IEBC Commission, implementation of two-thirds gender rule, entrenchment of Constituency Development Fund and the establishment, entrenchment of the Office of the Leader of the Opposition and embedment of the Office of Prime Cabinet Secretary.
The talks are set to begin on Monday.
