President Kenyatta addresses a
press conference at State House
Nairobi on May 16, 2014. A
parliamentary group meeting
chaired by President Uhuru
Kenyatta Tuesday, June 3, 2014
resolved there would be no
dialogue with opposition Cord
coalition over IEBC.
A Jubilee coalition parliamentary
group meeting at State House
Tuesday resolved that there would
be no dialogue with opposition
Cord coalition on issues touching
on the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) or
other matters which are outlined
in law.
"No dialogue on IEBC or matters,
whose procedure is clearly set out
in the constitution," the coalition
tweeted through the State House
account.
National Assembly Majority Leader
Aden Duale said the roadmap for
IEBC disbandment was well
documented in the constitution,
citing calls by the opposition to
disband the institution.
The parliamentary meeting chaired
by President Uhuru Kenyatta also
urged Igembe South MP Mithika
Linturi to drop the impeachment
motion against Devolution Cabinet
Secretary Anne Waiguru.
The Igembe South legislator had
introduced the motion against the
CS for transferring Kiplimo Rugut
from the National Youth Service,
and sought permission from the
House Business Committee to have
it prioritised.
CORD DEMANDS
The legislators also resolved that
the national dialogue called by the
opposition would take place
through an engagement within the
government structures and not in
an event.
Speaking after the meeting, Mr
Duale said the coalition had
resolved that the national dialogue
would be done within the
institutions created by the
constitution.
“The new Constitution 2010
created independent institutions
that have the role of dealing with
national issues. So we will expect
the national dialogue to be framed
within those institutions,” the
National Assembly Majority Leader
said.
Mr Duale was referring to the
recent push by the opposition for
a national dialogue to discuss
security and economic issues
affecting the country.
The demands were made by Cord
leaders during the rally at Uhuru
Park as they welcomed the
coalition’s principal Raila Odinga.
The opposition gave the
government an ultimatum within
which they would be required to
organise for a national dialogue
with key stakeholders in the
country while demanding the
disbandment of the IEBC.
