NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 11 \u2014 The Linda Mwananchi faction of ODM has given the government a \u201cgenerous\u201d score of 10 per cent for implementing the 10-point reform agenda agreed between President William Ruto and the late Raila Odinga, saying the pact had effectively collapsed and could not be revived.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking during the launch of the alternative \u201cPeople\u2019s Report\u201d on Wednesday, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna said the faction conducted a point-by-point review of the agenda and concluded that the government\u2019s implementation had fallen \u201cextremely below expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn conclusion, we have given a score of one out of ten, which is a very generous score,\u201d Sifuna said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBabu and the others believed it should have been minus two or minus one, but we put all of those together and gave them one out of ten or 10 per cent. That 80 per cent progress they claimed cannot be demonstrated in the document presented yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The faction accused the government of failing to address core issues, including an audit of the 2022 presidential election results<\/p>\n

They also criticized what they called insufficient progress on youth livelihoods, leadership and integrity standards, and the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

Non-implementation <\/h2>\n

Sifuna alleged the government had failed to implement provisions relating to civil liberties, claiming opposition rallies and gatherings had been violently disrupted since the memorandum of understanding was signed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe right to peaceful assembly has deteriorated,\u201d he said, citing incidents where police used tear gas to disperse political gatherings and alleging that more than 30 young people had been killed during protests over the past year.<\/p>\n

The faction further accused authorities of ignoring calls for transparency on Kenya\u2019s national debt, noting that no clear audit had been provided on total debt or creditors.<\/p>\n

The remarks came a day after government-aligned leaders claimed significant progress in implementing the reform agenda, asserting that most commitments had been fulfilled.<\/p>\n

However, the Linda Mwananchi faction dismissed those claims as misleading, stating that the official report did not demonstrate substantial progress.<\/p>\n

The faction said there was \u201cabsolutely no justification\u201d to extend the memorandum of understanding or negotiate a new agreement with the government.<\/p>\n

The NADCO process, launched in 2023, sought to defuse political tensions following the disputed 2022 elections. <\/p>\n

It aimed to address electoral reforms, governance, and economic grievances to stabilize Kenya\u2019s political environment.<\/p>\n

Sifuna\u2019s sentiments were echoed by other leaders, including Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, Governor James Orengo, and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
