Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot now claims that President William Ruto has shown that he is not confident he won the August 2022 presidential poll.
Speaking on Monday, Aukot who was reacting to some of the recommendations by the National Dialogue Committee (Nadco) in their final report claimed they mutilated the Constitution.
He said the Committee has also undermined the Supreme Court's decision on last year's presidential elections by agreeing to audit the results as demanded by the Opposition.
"The #Bomas bi-partisan talks and their #NADCO report mutilates the constitution by suggesting the office of the Opposition leader, and they have agreed to undermine the Supreme Court verdict by agreeing to look into the 2022 election. President William Ruto is not confident he won the 2022 elections!" Aukot said.
His remarks come after Ruto pledged to fully implement the Nadco recommendations.
The Nadco officially made public its final report after three months of deliberations on Saturday evening.
The report has various recommendations on the various issues that were raised by both sides of the political divide.
The committee, however, admitted to failing to agree on the matter of cost of living while unveiling the final report of its deliberations.
In the report, both camps made proposals on key issues that were part and parcel of the talks in which they disclosed failure to hit a deal on Azimio's major concerns on taxes, the finance act, and the Housing Levy.
"The committee was unable to reach a consensus on several other proposals on the matter of cost of living, including the reduction of VAT on fuel from 16 per cent to 8 per cent and scrapping of the housing levy, the twin issues in the Finance Act, 2023," the report stated.
The report was signed by NADCO co-chairs Kalonzo Musyoka of the Azimio Coalition and Kimani Ichung'wah of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition.
President William Ruto on Sunday praised the National Dialogue Committee following the unveiling of its report.
Ruto said the government will consider all the recommendations in the report.
"The team involved in dialogue talks have finished the process. I want to congratulate them for coming up with recommendations, and I have seen the recommendations, and they are good. Those that belong to the executive, I’ll execute without any delay," he said.
"We will work on the recommendations to address the areas they have recommended and to do whatever they have recommended in Parliament."
