Babu Owino Raises Concern Over Team Picked to Represent Azimio in Bipartisan Talks

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has raised concern over the lack of youth in the team selected to represent Azimio in the Bipartisan talks in parliament.  

In a statement on Thursday, April 6, the legislator wished the Azimio team well but seemed to question why a youth was not part of the seven members selected.  

Owino argued that the youth has been a the forefront of the Azimio demos with some maimed and killed in the process. 

"A team has been set up to Represent Azimio in the Bipartisan talks. I wish them well. However, it would have been more effective and efficient if a youth was part of the team because it’s the youth who are killed, maimed, and still at the forefront in the struggle," he said.  

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance coalition unveiled a list of seven lawmakers who will represent the coalition during bi-partisan talks with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance in parliament.

The lawmakers include;

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna

Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua

Malindi MP Amina Mnyazi 

Millie Odhiambo (Suba North)

David Pkosing (Pokot South)

Otiende Amolo (Rarieda).
