10-point agenda committee says report ready, set to be released on Tuesday

The committee overseeing the implementation of the 10-point agenda and the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report will submit its status report on Tuesday, March 10, after a planned release on Saturday was pushed forward.

In a statement to newsrooms on Saturday, the Committee Overseeing the Implementation of the Ten Point Agenda and NADCO Report (COIN-10) said the report is ready and will be presented to the principals, the joint Parliamentary group and the public early next week.

The committee was initially supposed to submit its report on March 7, which coincides with the anniversary of the signing of the agreement between the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) leader President William Ruto and the late longtime Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party chief Raila Odinga.

The Agnes Zani-led team noted that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) established the framework under which the implementation committee was formed to oversee the 10-point agenda and the NADCO report.

According to the statement, the committee was mandated to hold extensive consultations with various stakeholders, including government ministries, departments and agencies, civil society organisations and members of the public before compiling its findings.

“Pursuant to the establishment of the committee to oversee the implementation of the ten-point agenda and the NADCO report, the committee was mandated to conduct extensive consultations with stakeholders, including government ministries, departments and agencies, civil society organisations and Kenyans,” the statement read.

However, the submission was delayed following changes to plans for a joint Parliamentary group meeting between ODM and UDA that had been scheduled ahead of the anniversary date.

“COIN-10 was aware of plans to have the joint parliamentary group just before the 7th of March, arrangements that were varied following the tragic demise of Johanna Ng’eno, the now deceased MP for Emurua Dikir constituency,” the committee said.

The report will now be submitted to President Ruto and the ODM leadership at the joint Parliamentary group meeting now set for Tuesday, as well as to the general public on the same day.

The 10-point agenda was formulated following an agreement between President Ruto and Raila last year, aimed at addressing key national issues, including governance, corruption, strengthening devolution and the country’s debt burden.

The Linda Ground wing of ODM has previously said the agenda is a continuous process meant to move the country forward, noting that discussions around the implementation would continue beyond the initial timeline.

Siaya Governor James Orengo of the Linda Mwananchi faction, however, on Saturday issued a scathing statement on the first anniversary of the MoU, declaring that the occasion had soured into something far darker than a celebration.

"Instead of 7th March 2026 being a day of joy and celebration of the MoU, it has turned out to be a day of betrayal and rage," Orengo said.

More than 140 days after the death of Raila Odinga, Orengo warned that the former opposition leader's ODM party was being systematically dismantled from within.
