Together with Kenya's international partners, the Presidency strongly supports the efforts by the Panel of Eminent African Personalities, led by Mr Kofi Annan, to engage Kenya's leaders in a National Diaogue in order to agree a sustainable and consensual political solution to the crisis.
The Presidency is therefore very concerned to learn that there remains a serious gap between the Kenyan parties, preventing them from reaching a final agreement. At this critical stage in the Dialogue the Presidency strongly urges the parties to redouble their efforts to engage constructively in a spirit of compromise to secure a legitimate political settlement.
The Presidency emphasizes that a means of effective power-sharing in Kenya must be found and that individuals who obstruct the dialogue process will have to face the consequences.
