Thursday, May 25, 2023 –President William Ruto has moved with speed to quell fallout amid cracks in the stalled Bipartisan talks.
Ruto’s meeting with the Khalwale-led team comes at the time the dialogue between the two factions stopped quarterway after they failed to agree on certain interim provisions.
Khalwale, who led his troops to meet with their party leader William Ruto, on Thursday May 25, divulged that the President had instructed them not to veer off the strict guidelines of law.
“An evening briefing on the status of the bipartisan talks to H.E William Ruto. He has advised that we proceed strictly within the rule of law,” Khalwale noted.
Khalwale’s evening update follows his earlier animated interview on Citizen Tv where he faced off with his Nairobi counterpart Edwin Sifuna.
The Kakamega senator took issue with the ‘blackmail and intimidation’ from the opposition side amid ongoing talks.
But in response, Lawyer Sifuna pointed out how, on several occasions, a section of Kenya Kwanza politicians has been arriving for meetings late and with different agenda each pulling in opposite direction.
