A new round of bipartisan talks is set to begin in attempts to resolve Kenya’s political dispute that triggered widespread anti-government protests across the country in the past three months.

The negotiators – five from each side – were until Friday last week engaging to set the date for first meeting, which will set the agenda for the talks initiated following a face-to-face meeting between President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga facilitated by former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo.
