According to Sifuna, the committee overseeing the process failed to submit its final report by the March 7 deadline and instead briefed a select group in what he termed a “charade”.

Speaking on Wednesday, Sifuna said the committee was required to issue progress reports every two months and deliver a final comprehensive report on March 7, 2026, which he argued also marked the expiry of the agreement. 

He claimed the report was not released on time and was not presented to the public as required, accusing the committee of acting in contempt of ODM leader Raila Odinga’s intentions. 

“What we witnessed yesterday was a shameful charade meant to trick the public that the MOU had been implemented,” Sifuna said, insisting that “nothing could be further from the truth”.

Sifuna pointed to what he described as confusion at an event held at the KICC, saying some attendees challenged the President on the contents of the report.

He also claimed the President sought to extend the committee’s mandate by 60 days, which he said contradicted assertions by ODM leader Oburu Oginga that there was no time limit to implementing the agreement.

He further argued that the ODM Parliamentary Group  has no powers under the party constitution to make such decisions, saying the agreement and the oversight process were handled through ODM’s National Executive Committee.

Sifuna said any purported extension of the committee’s mandate was “unconstitutional, null and void”.

Sifuna said implementation of the agenda should be measurable and not based on conjecture, citing issues such as abductions and alleged extrajudicial killings, the share of revenue to counties, and respect for political parties’ identity and integrity.

He said his side would present what he called a “true report” detailing failures in implementing the 10-point agenda, item by item.

He accused the committee of shifting focus late in its term by travelling around the country under the guise of public participation, saying the answers should have been sought from the executive.

“The resolution to the 10 agenda items lay squarely with the regime of President William Ruto,” he said, adding that the committee should have been “domiciled at State House” demanding answers.

Sifuna said the debate touches on the country’s constitutional values and accountability, arguing that leaders must be held to public commitments.

He said the report his side plans to release was compiled through public engagement and review of records, including surveys and feedback collected through phone calls and emails, as well as scrutiny of government records and parliamentary proceedings on bills linked to the agenda.

He said they also reviewed actions by the Executive and rulings by the Judiciary on rule of law and constitutionalism, and consulted reports by independent organisations and civil society groups.

“What we are presenting to you here is not something we just sat somewhere and created,” he said, describing it as a consultative and “scientific” process with a clear methodology. Citizen
