"The parliamentary group reaffirms our commitment to the rule of law and constitutionalism and appreciates the role of the opposition to oversight and criticize this government," he said.
He also indicated that the ruling coalition is dedicated to collaborating with the government "on policies aimed at stabilizing our economy, lowering living costs, and creating jobs."
The Azimio la Umoja coalition presented a seven-member team during a Parliamentary Group meeting in Machakos on Thursday, April 6.
They are Senators Ledama Ole Kina of Narok, Edwin Sifuna of Nairobi, Enock Wambua of Makueni, Millie Odhiambo of Suba North, Amina Mnyazi of Malindi, David Pkosing of Pokot South, and Otiende Amollo of Makueni. (Rarieda).
President Ruto requested the meeting on April 2, when he encouraged opposition leader Raila Odinga to end anti-government rallies and hold discussion talks to resolve their issues.
Among the concerns that Mr Odinga wants to address are the appointment of commissioners for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the country's increased food, petrol, and energy costs.
Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga has, however, said that he would go back to the streets if the issues they raised are not resolved
