The parliament-led bipartisan negotiations agreed between Kenya’s President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga could collapse prematurely after the two parties took hardline positions on various issues even before the first meeting.
Whereas Mr Odinga has announced that mass protests to agitate for a lower cost of living and electoral justice may resume in under two weeks, the government has stated that the talks will strictly deal with the ongoing process of constituting electoral body.
