At Raila’s office, Ichung’wah said the dialogue team addressed about 90 per cent of the issues they were tasked to look into.

“The few issues we could not agree on, we referred them to you and President William Ruto. But the most important thing for the team and the nation is not to forget the things that led us to the dialogue table,” he added.

He expressed optimism that the issues the team referred to the President and Opposition leader will eventually be addressed through dialogue.

He assured that Azimio will act in good faith and support the process to its logical conclusion.

Raila thanked members from both sides of the talks for the commitment and dedication to national duty that they displayed.
