Let dialogue focus on NASA's oversight role of Jubilee government

The push for national dialogue to resolve political issues that always resurface during elections cannot be buried and forgotten. Most Kenyans are in agreement that the country is deeply divided along ethnic and political lines and there is need to look for a remedy to this sorry situation.

During the campaigns, President Uhuru Kenyatta acknowledged this division but emphatically stated that he was open to dialogue only after the repeat presidential election was concluded. On his part, the NASA leader Raila Odinga has been calling for dialogue, but firmly stating that the talks should focus on electoral justice. It is clear the two leaders are in agreement on the need for dialogue but there are still significant differences on what the agenda of the engagement should be.
