President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga have appointed a five-member committee to oversee the implementation of the 10-Point Agenda outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) earlier this year.
In a joint statement on Wednesday, August 4, the two leaders revealed the composition and mandate of the new body.
"Today, 6th August 2025, the Principals announce the formation of a five-member committee tasked with overseeing the implementation of the 10-Point Agenda," the statement read.
Agnes Zani has been appointed to serve as the committee Chairperson, while Fatuma Ibrahim, Kevin Kiarie, Gabriel Oguda, and Javas Bigambo have been appointed to serve as members.

"A Joint Secretariat, co-led by Executive Secretaries from UDA and ODM, has also been established to support the Committee's operations. The Committee will be fully funded and facilitated by both UDA and ODM," the statement added.
According to the statement, the committee is expected to engage widely with stakeholders to ensure the MoU's implementation reflects the collective aspirations of Kenyans.
"In executing its mandate under the guidance of the Principals, the Committee shall undertake inclusive and extensive consultations with members of the public and all relevant stakeholders, including the arms of Government, Government departments, independent commissions, civil society, religious institutions, and the private sector, to ensure that the implementation of the MoU is informed by diverse perspectives and addresses the needs and aspirations of all Kenyans," the statement further read.
The two leaders added that the committee will begin its work immediately and will operate under a defined reporting structure.
It will update the principals every two months, while a joint parliamentary group drawn from both Kenya Kwanza and ODM will receive quarterly briefings.
"The Committee will commence its work immediately and will submit progress reports to the Principals every two months, and to a joint Kenya Kwanza-ODM Parliamentary Group on a quarterly basis.
"The Parliamentary Group will hold its first sitting on August 18, 2025. A final comprehensive report detailing the status of the MoU's implementation will be released to the public on March 7, 2026, marking the one-year anniversary of its signing," the statement concluded.
The MoU, signed in March, outlines commitments aimed at fostering national cohesion, strengthening institutions, and advancing inclusive prosperity.
It outlined ten pillars as the foundation for long-term reforms, including the full implementation of the NADCO Report, ensuring inclusivity in all spheres of public life, protecting and strengthening devolution, and promoting and protecting the livelihood of the youth.
Other areas of focus include enhancing leadership and integrity, affirming the right to peaceful assembly as enshrined under Article 37 of the Constitution and providing compensation for victims of protests and riots and addressing the national debt.
Intensifying the fight against corruption, eliminating wastage of public resources and improving government efficiency, and upholding the sovereignty of the people, the rule of law, and constitutionalism are also part of the MoU.
