Kenya Kwanza and Azimio La Umoja trade barbs over bipartisan talks

The Kenya Kwanza bipartisan team has called on Azimio La Umoja to rejoin the talks and resolve the issues affecting the country. However, Azimio has accused Kenya Kwanza of sabotaging the talks.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, Kenya Kwanza co-chair George Murugara said that the issues affecting the country cannot be solved through street protests, but must be discussed at a roundtable. He thanked Azimio for calling off the demonstrations and urged them to continue preaching for peace.

Azimio, on the other hand, has accused Kenya Kwanza of absconding from the talks. Raila Odinga said that he had called off the demonstrations despite protests from his supporters, but that Kenya Kwanza had not been available for talks.

On Monday, Azimio called off the protests that were scheduled to take place on Wednesday. Instead, they asked Kenyans to hold vigils for those who have been killed during the past protests.

The two sides are now trading barbs over who is to blame for the failure of the bipartisan talks. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to come together to resolve the issues affecting the country.
