Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga has disclosed that if the recommendations in the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report are fully implemented it will solve the issues the country is facing.

Speaking during the signing of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC ) bill into law by President William Ruto on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at KICC, Raila said that most of the issues raised by the youths during the anti-government protest are contained in the report.

He further disclosed that the assenting of the IEBC Bill into law is one of the many recommendations contained in the NADCO report.

“NADCO report contains very fundamental recommendations this deal that has now been signed into law today is just one of these. NADCO  report contains very many issues which are at the heart of many Kenyans today,” Raila said.

“If you see the issues being raised by our youth most of them are contained in the NADCO  report. If implemented fully, it will be able to address all these issues raised by the young people.”

NADCO

Raila further explained that NADCO was formed after the Former President of Nigeria Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ came to mediate the conflict between Azimio and Kenya Kwanza administration.

“What we are doing today is a reclamation of a process that began early last year when President Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ came to meditate on the conflict that was reigning at that time. We agreed when we sat together with William Ruto to follow the route of dialogue and that was the reason why NADCO was set up,” he said.

Youth Engagement

The former prime minister further recommended that youths should be involved during dialogues with the national government.

We require a wider engagement so that people have an opportunity to vomit all that is in their chests to find a way forward. Lets bring all the stakeholders together today in our society.  70 per cent of our population is below the age of 35. If you say  40 per cent constitute youths between 18 years and 35 then the 40 per cent should be present when dialogue takes place and we talk about Kenya we want,” Raila said.
“We are at a crossroads in the country and times like these require leadership for the country to move forward.”
