National Dialogue Committee will make public its report on Saturday ending months of push and pull between the two sides, the Committee has announced.
The Committee co-chaired by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka sat late into the night negotiating the five thematic areas it had set out for deliberations.
The Committee also considered agenda number six which was basically issues expressed by Kenyans during the stakeholders’ engagements.
Addressing a press conference after day-long negotiations, Ichung’wah announced that the team has agreed on the framework of the report and will work through to Friday to compile the final document.
“We are now towards the tail end agreeing on all the nitty-gritties of what will constitute our report which do hope we shall be here with the technical and secretariat team up to Saturday,” Ichung’wah said.
“We can announce to the country that we shall be able to have a report adopted and released to the country on Saturday, a day ahead of our deadline on November 26 which is Sunday.”
The position was also buttressed by Kalonzo who is leading the opposition delegation in the talks.
“Just to affirm that our engagement with Prof. Ndung’u was centered on the taxation regime and of course the very important matter of cost of living,” Kalonzo said.
“If you give us time we will be able to release our report on Saturday.”
