“These five individuals have been entrusted with translating the political agreement into solid national outcomes,” said the statement, highlighting their central role.
They will engage widely, consulting various stakeholders across the country. Their primary objective: breathe life into the NADCO report, which emerged from the ashes of violent anti-government protests in 2023.
Support Team and Timelines
A joint secretariat will back the committee, led by Executive Secretaries from UDA and ODM, ensuring political balance.
“Funding will be facilitated by both parties to ensure smooth execution of this critical national duty,” the statement emphasized.

Why This Matters
This move is historic not just because of Oguda’s appointment, but because it symbolizes Kenya’s shifting political landscape. A once-vocal critic of the government is now part of it. Many see this as a strategic decision to bring alternative voices to the table, boosting public trust in the NADCO process.
A New Dawn or Political Drama?
While some Kenyans celebrate this as a sign of healing and progress, others watch with skepticism. Will this team deliver real change, or is this just another political show?
