The bipartisan talks team formed by Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya yesterday formed a six-member sub-committee to thrash out contentious issues on the electoral commission.
In another big step, the team agreed to have the discussion take a hybrid approach, with representation from outside Parliament. Representatives of members of the county assemblies, Law Society of Kenya and religious leaders will be involved in the talks that will, however, be led by Parliament, which the 14-member team wants to provide secretariat services.
