National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has urged Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka not to be worried about the implementation of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report.
Speaking on Sunday, March 31, Ichung’wah said the report will be implemented as adopted by Parliament.
He noted that some bills have already been published and MPs will begin working on them when Parliament reopens.
“We have already published some bills the IEBC bill to reconstitute a new commission is already published and as soon as we reopen parliament we shall begin working on it and all other bills that we have published. So Kalonzo should not worry that some bills would not be passed. What the court has temporarily halted, we will deal with in court,” said Ichung’wah.
The Kikuyu MP at the same time said the Kenya Kwanza government had nothing to do with the High Court’s decision to stop the implementation of the NADCO report.

Ichung’wah said the Kenya Kwanza side will face the issues raised in court and address them in the right manner
“Let me just tell our colleagues on the other side that if the court has stopped the implementation of any section of the NADCO report, that has nothing to do with the Kenya Kwanza government. But since we want to be faithful to our constitution and we respect the independence of the Judiciary we shall face all challenges that have been raised in the court, address them in the right manner in court and not by throwing words at each other,” Ichun’gwah added.
His remarks come after Kalonzo accused the government of lacking goodwill in implementing the NADCO report.
The former vice president on Saturday claimed that the court orders stopping the implementation of the report were sponsored by the Kenya Kwanza side.
The High Court suspended the implementation of the report on Thursday last week pending the hearing and determination of a suit filed by activist Michael Muchemi.
The activist argued that the implementation of the report and giving the parliament authority to process the content of the report would plunge the country into a constitutional crisis.
