The Azimio Boss doesn't want that route, he that at the first ever meeting held wants them held outside Parliament and made on gentlemen’s agreements. The Stalemate! by both KKA and Azimio, de- mands were put upfront that Azimio wanted eleven Cabinet slots and a share in every public appointment including Ambassa- dorial postings. Whilst this may pose a serious reorganization of the government if it was the way to go, the President and his people feel if they give in to this de- mand, then Kenya goes many years back on the path to de- mocracy and the real and es- sence of democratic elections will loose any meaning at all. Realizing that this might not be possible at the vern end of the day, Azimio has an- nounced that Demonstrations will resume next week on Thurs- day. Kenya Kwanza mandarins have told them to go ahead as it was their democratic right to hold demonstration so far as they are peaceful. This stalemate is however a big headache to Azimio as many of their leaders are getting tired of the running battles with the police while many others don’t even show up for the de- mos. If and should the Talks have worked out well as antici- pated by Azimio, they would have provided an excellent exit strategy from the exercise that is proving too expensive to main- tain as well as posing other dan- gers like being cited by ICC for crimes against humanity and what Kenya Kwanza has already termed as Post Election Vio- lence following destruction of properties and deaths across the country from the demonstrators including police injuries and deaths. Some of the contentious issues that are recorded as Azimio’s demands includes opening of IEBC Servers, rein- statement of the Cherera Four to their IEBC jobs, restructuring of the IEBC Committee, lowering cost of living like Unga and fuel and education. Kenya Kwanza has point- ed to Azimio that they were re- sponsible for these things.

The President asked the continental parliament to encour- age democratic institutions across Africa to ensure free, fair and credible elections. He spoke when he met the president of the Pan-African Par- liament, Mr Fortune Charumbira, and the Kenyan delegation at State House Nairobi. “It is the people who de- cide their leaders and we must continue to defer to them,” Presi- dent Ruto said.
