National conference may be good for Jubilee

Kenya: On Madaraka Day, President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed the idea of a national dialogue on matters of national importance. This was met with sighs of relief because it neutered a growing restlessness among Kenyans over issues negatively affecting their daily lives.

Separately, both Jubilee and CORD met to draw up the agenda for the meeting. On CORD’s agenda are matters touching on national security, corruption in Government, national unity, equity in public appointments and the disbandment of the current Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission office.
