Former Chief Justice David Maraga has rejected President William Ruto's appointment of a five-member committee to fast-track the implementation of the UDA-ODM 10-point agenda and the National Dialogue Committee report.

In a statement on Friday, August 8, Maraga dismissed the formation of the team as a wasteful and deceitful endeavour meant to serve the interests of the political elite.
