Kenya is poised for another Building Bridges Initiative moment.

The build-up started on Tuesday when the National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wa and his Minority counterpart Opiyo Wandayi tabled a Motion seeking the recognition of a National Dialogue Committee to steer the bipartisan talks ahead of the August 21 sitting.

Should Parliament pass the Motion, the committee will be expected to present a progress report on the talks between Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya within 60 days.
