Kenya’s Opposition Leader, Raila Odinga, on Monday, announced that Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition will not sign the bipartisan agreement if the high cost of living is not addressed.
Speaking in Mombasa, Odinga said the National Dialogue Committee must also agree on the auditing of last year’s general election.
The committee, chaired by National Assembly Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Azimio La Umoja principal Kalonzo Musyoka three-months deadline to submit its report, is fast approaching on November 26.
The committee is expected to retreat to draft its report next week.
However, the opposition leader has maintained a firm stance that no agreement will be reached unless the issue of high living costs and election audit are effectively addressed.

“The Azimio Coalition will not enter into any agreement without first addressing the cost of living. The cost of living must be reduced, and we must also address the audit of last year’s election,” said Odinga.
Further, he expressed concern over the continued hardships faced by Kenyans, highlighting the persistently high prices of essential commodities such as maize flour, fuel, sugar, and electricity.
He criticized the government for its perceived lack of commitment to addressing the high cost of living.
