Murkomen: Shift Focus from Raila-Ruto Talks to Other Matters
Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen has urged the National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka to stop wasting time with bipartisan talks. On Sunday, Murkomen emphasized that the two leaders should strive to initiate the discussions between Azimio la Umoja and the government promptly to enhance peace in the country. Rather than engaging in prolonged talks, he encouraged them to take action for the greater good of the nation.
Murkomen expressed that the eyes of the whole country are on Ichung’wah and Kalonzo as they lead their respective sides. Their ability to come together and engage in meaningful dialogue has the potential to foster unity and stability in the country. Murkomen stressed the urgency of addressing pertinent issues through constructive conversations, signaling the significance of effective communication and cooperation between the parties involved.
Azimio la Umoja and the government holds particular importance
In light of the challenges faced by the nation, the call for immediate action and collaboration between Azimio la Umoja and the government holds particular importance. By setting aside differences and actively engaging in dialogue, there is a possibility of finding common ground and reaching solutions that benefit all citizens. Reminding these leaders of their responsibility to prioritize the well-being of the country and its people, the importance of their role in shaping a peaceful and prosperous future was emphasized.
Murkomen’s statements arise amidst a new spectacle in Kenya, where bipartisan talks are causing a stir. The commencement of the second round of talks, which was scheduled for the previous week, has been overshadowed by disputes over locations, scheduling, and the possibility of street demonstrations, resembling the events that caused the failure of a previous attempt to reconcile the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition and Azimio parties.
The bipartisan talks encountered another obstacle when the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance requested a postponement of the inaugural meeting to Thursday. This development has put the scheduled meeting between Kenya Kwanza and the Azimio la Umoja coalition teams, which was organized following an invitation from the leader of the latter’s team and Wiper party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, on Monday at the Serena Hotel, on hold. The delay indicates that both parties are still facing challenges in finding common ground and moving forward with their discussions.
It remains to be seen how the talks will proceed and whether the parties can overcome their differences to reach any meaningful agreements. The success of these bipartisan negotiations could have significant implications for Kenya’s political landscape and governance, as both alliances represent crucial stakeholders in the country’s political sphere. As the situation unfolds, the public and other political actors will likely be closely watching the developments in these talks.
“The dialogue between the two coalitions is healthy for our country. I urge the two teams to hold the conversation in good faith so that we can continue with a united country,” Wanga

“The leaders should stop writing letters to each other. They should start engaging in talks instead of the letters,” Murkomen Suggested
He expressed that both parties should take immediate measures with the intention of preventing further street actions that have resulted in the shutdown of businesses and caused the loss of lives and injuries to many individuals.
Murkomen warned that if the country were to face another round of mass protests, Ichung’wah and Kalonzo should bear responsibility for the consequences.
