The committee established last week by President William Ruto to oversee the implementation of the UDA-ODM agreement and the National Dialogue Committee (Nadco) report is set to begin public engagements in October.

Modelled on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) between Raila Odinga and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Agnes Zani-led committee will consult members of the public across all 47 counties and other stakeholders, a process that could culminate in a referendum.
