The Kenyan government and the opposition have struck a compromise to revive stalled bipartisan talks and avert protests planned for Thursday, even as the factions separately closed ranks on contentious proposals.
The Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja One Kenya on Wednesday called off Thursday’s protests after the ruling Kenya Kwanza-led government withdrew Eldas MP Adan Keynan from its bipartisan talks team.
