The bipartisan team bringing together the Azimio La Umoja coalition and the Kenya Kwanza Alliance has rolled out a framework that will enable Kenyans to share their views on the ongoing talks.

The team led by Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah have asked Kenyans to submit their opinions and views regarding the talks.

In an advertisement shared in a local daily, the two co-chairs said Kenyans can share their views via written memoranda addressed to the clerk of the National Assembly or the clerk of the Senate.

The memoranda can be sent via P.O BOX 41842-00100, Nairobi. It should be clearly marked as Memoranda to the National Dialogue Committee.
