Uhuru announces plan to kick start dialogue on IEBC

President Uhuru Kenyatta has agreed to name a team to dialogue with the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) over the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) issue.

In his address to the nation on Wednesday, President Kenyatta said that following consultations with speakers of the Senate and the National Assembly and religious leaders he had agreed to form a team that would seek to end the current impasse on IEBC.

“A joint select committee of both Houses of Parliament will be set up in accordance with Standing Orders of both Houses with keen mandate exclusively limited to the matter of IEBC,” he said.

Uhuru and Ruto accused CORD leaders of insincerity claiming there was no such agreement reached during the meeting.

They called on CORD to table their petition against the IEBC in Parliament saying any other negotiation process would only lead to litigation.
