“We have asked the Parliamentary leadership of both Houses to consider our proposal for a bipartisan approach to addressing the matters raised by the Opposition as a priority,” Ruto stated.

MP Ichung’wah and his Senate counterpart Aaron Cheruiyot who were in the meeting were directed by the president to establish a framework for the bi-partisan approach to address some of the issues raised by the opposition camp which has since given a break to mass protests.

“We are convinced the issues shall be conclusively handled by Parliament in order to allow us to focus on our economic transformation program,” President Ruto further stated.

On his part, Senator Cheruiyot urged their allies to bear with them on these changes saying he is upto the task to know where the opposition cannot be allowed to cross.

“I understand the apprehension and corkiness of Kenya Kwanza supporters. They know quite well what happens to an administration when it goes down that road. However, we ask you to please trust us. As your Parliamentary leadership, we know what’s Haram and a no-go zone for us,” he noted.

Other leaders present at the Statehouse today were the Deputy Leader of the Majority Owen Baya and the Whip of the Majority Sylvanus Osoro alongside his deputy, Naomi Waqo.
