Led by National Assembly majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah, the government delegation includes Aaron Cheruiyot (Senate Majority Leader), Embu Governor Cecile Mbaririe, Hassan Omar ( EALA MP) and Bungoma Woman rep Catherine Wambilinga.
The team is expected to hold talks with the Azimio delegation of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi, Eugene Wamalwa, Okong’o Omogeni and Malindi MP Amina Mnyanzi.
