Azimio Calls Off Thursday Demos
Azimio La Umoja has called off Thursday planned protests.
According to the coalition, Kenya Kwanza agreed to recuse Adan Keynan from their bipartisan talk committee.
“We in Azimio la Umoja One Kenya announce, on a without prejudice basis, that we are prepared to go back to the bipartisan talks with our opposite side in Kenya Kwanza and are prepared to stand down the demonstrations scheduled for tomorrow Thursday provided that Kenya Kwanza recuses Hon Adan Keynan from the bipartisan committee,” a statement from Azimio signed by Kalonzo Musyoka stated.
The move was confirmed by National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Aaron Cheruyoit who stated that Keynan agreed to move out of the bipartisan talks as he never wanted to be used as scapegoat for future failed talks.
“We appreciate the conciliatory tone taken by our Azimio counterparts to engage in talks and stand down the planned street demonstrations should Kenya Kwanza recuse Aldas Member of Parliament Adan Keynan,”
“As we have always stated, we are willing to bend backwards for the sake of the progress of the country, national unity and stability of the nation,” Nandi Senator Cheruyiot said
Cheruyiot further added that Saku MP Dido Rasso would replace Keynan.
“We have nominated the Hon Dido Rasso, MP Saku, to replace the Hon Adan Keynan in the bipartisan committee,” he said.
