Appearing on Citizen TV on Tuesday, South Mugirango Member of Parliament Sylvanus Osoro said Raila made demands that cannot be met by Ruto.
“There is something that Hon. Raila said that needs to be
relooked at. He made some demands that he needs to be sorted but I have to say
some things are ambiguous and can't be met. You have been listening to him in
rallies talking about 'we are telling Ruto to open servers' it is not within
the powers of the bipartisan committee to open servers. That may not
work," Osoro said.
The lawmaker went on to say that such demands make the
opposition coalition look like they do not know what they want.
Osoro who is the National Assembly majority Whip, however,
added that the bipartisan committee will make recommendations that will be used
to forge a way forward on some of the demands.
On Sunday, Raila while responding to President William
Ruto's call for a truce laid out demands to allow for talks between the
opposition and the government.
Raila called for the immediate release of those arrested as
a result of holding peaceful protests, as well as the withdrawal of court cases
facing Azimio supporters over the protests.
At the same time, Raila said discussions on issues raised
should fasten and begin as quickly as possible.
