A section of leaders from both Azimio la umoja and Kenya Kwanza coalitions have called on the Bipartisan committee to handle the talks with sobriety.
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga said she supports a dialogue between the two coalitions so that issues to be solved can be laid on the table.
"Let the teams discuss the issues with the aim of helping Kenyans. The dialogue should be done with clean hearts to benefit the country," she said on Sunday.
Ugenya David Ochieng also called on the bipartisan leaders to stop hardline positions to enable the country to reach a solution faster.
He welcomed the talks and urged Azimio to stop calling another anti-government protest.
"Bridges should be built without threats and intimidation. Azimio needs to stop calling for another wave of protest if they are sincere with the talks," Ochieng said.
On the other side, Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said that the talks should start immediately to quell the political tension that is building in the country.
He urged the National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to start for the sake of peace in the country.
The leaders were speaking during a fundraiser at St Arnold Nyalienga Catholic church in Kochia, Rangwe constituency.
Kenya Kwanza and Azimio leadership formed the team after President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga met in Mombasa.
Ichungwa and Kalonzo are leading their teams to discuss issues that have been affecting the common man (hustlers).
The team has never met to start the talks since it was created.
Political bickering has also emerged between Azimio and Kenya Kwanza with each points accusing finger of wanting their interests served.
However, CS Murkomen said such delays in starting the talks are not good for Kenyans.
" We want the bipartisan teams to begin talks for Kenyans to live in peace. They stop writing letters to each other and focus on peace and unity," he added.
Ichung’wah and Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot are leading Kenya Kwanza in talks.Kalonzo, National Assembly Miniority Leader Opiyo Wandayi and Democratic Action Party leader Eugene Wamalwa are on the side of Azimio.
Nyamira Senator Okong'o Omogeni and Malindi MP Amina Mnyazi are also on the Azimio side.
Raila has already issued an ultimatum that they will resume anti-government protests if the talks fail to take place within 30 days.
Murkomen said he and majority of Kenyans would not wish to see the country go into another wave of protest."Why continue wasting time if both teams don't want nusu mkate (coalition government)? Bring the remaining agenda on the table, discuss and come up with solutions," he said.
The CS added that the political leaders should not continue wasting time as this is not the first time Kenyan leaders are engaging in talks after a general election.
"Kenyans are not new to dialogue after general elections. We want the teams to meet and start the talks," he said.
