Thursday, May 25, 2023 –Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has exposed key figure in Kenya Kwanza who is keen on stalling dialogue.
Addressing this matter on Citzien Tv interview with host Trevor Ombinja on Thursday may 25 morning where UDA Party elected Senator Boni Khalwale was also present, Lawyer Sifuna mentioned co-chair George Murugara as the person leading a secret cabal in UDA Party to kill the talks.
The Nairobi Senator pointed out how, on several occasions, a section of Kenya Kwanza politicians has been arriving for meetings late and with different instructions from different people.
According to Mr. Sifuna, the Bipartisan team from the government side is having specific instructions to stop the talks and as well confused on they should do.
“We feel that some people are committed on the discussion while other have specific instructions. In fact, any progress we have seen is when Chair Murugara is absent.
“We can tell and we see who is interested in having talks with us. It is very clear,” Sifuna added.
The politician noted that, apart from the absence of good faith, Kenya Kwanza representatives have no complete mandate in the negotiations on even small thinsg like which tea should be taken.
On his behalf, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale responded by reminding Sifuna that one of the problems governments has with the opposition is continuous threats and blackmail amid the ongoing talks.
He also seized the opportunity to drum up support for the controversial Housing Finance Bill 2023 which he said is an excellent idea from government and which should be taken positively.
