The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a key member of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition, has expressed its concern over the involvement of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the ongoing national dialogue facilitated by the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO).

In a statement issued on Monday, ODM reaffirmed its commitment to the NADCO talks, which aim to address five pivotal issues affecting the country, including the high cost of living, electoral justice, multiparty democracy, and the rights of political parties.

However, the party said it was “profoundly concerned” about the participation of the World Bank and IMF in tomorrow’s forum convened by NADCO to deliberate on the lowering of cost of living challenges faced by Kenyans.

“Their previous advice has contributed to the problems our nation faces today,” the statement read.

ODM accused the current regime of implementing measures that worsen the cost of living, such as fuel price hikes and new taxes and levies, while the talks are ongoing.

“This is hardly indicative of good faith and a commitment to addressing the concerns of the people,” the statement said.

ODM urged its delegation in the AZIMIO coalition to stand firm and not accept any deal that does not satisfactorily address the critical problem of the cost of living.

“It is essential that NADCO operates under the understanding that nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon. The success of these discussions must encompass the comprehensive and genuine interests of the people of Kenya,” the statement said.

ODM Secretary General Oduor Ong’wen, who signed the statement, said ODM remains resolute in its dedication to constructive dialogue and the pursuit of solutions that genuinely benefit the Kenyan people.

“We anticipate productive discussions ahead and trust that these negotiations will lead to positive change for the betterment of Kenya,” he said.
