The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is nearing completion of an initial report on the progress of its committee tasked with implementing the 10 key areas outlined in the March 2025 National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report. This report is expected to be released shortly.
According to a statement on their official X account from December 2, 2025, the various officials responsible for overseeing the implementation of the report are in the final stages of preparing this initial assessment.
The committee members convened on Monday, December 1, 2025, to discuss the various issues detailed in the report.
“ODM Dep. SG @agnes_zani, who also leads the Committee on the Implementation of the 10-point plan and NADCO report, and Senate Minority Leader @StewartMadzayo, spoke at the recent meeting focused on reviewing the progress of the 10-point agenda agreed upon by President @WilliamsRuto and our former leader, the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga in March this year,” ODM stated on X on December 2, 2025.
“Good headway is being made, and the committee anticipates publishing an initial report in the near future.”
Consultative Meeting Review
A collaborative meeting, facilitated by the Centre for Multiparty Democracy, brought together key stakeholders to evaluate the advancement of the bipartisan framework signed on March 7, 2025, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) between President William Ruto and the late Raila Odinga, who was then the leader of ODM.
Thousands of enthusiastic ODM supporters, dressed in their signature orange colors, gathered outside KICC, celebrating in anticipation of the landmark agreement. Lawmakers from both political sides, including Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda and Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, welcomed the partnership, describing it as a step towards national unity and faster progress.
The agreement was officially finalized on August 18, 2025, during a joint meeting in Karen of the Kenya Kwanza and ODM Parliamentary Groups, attended by President Ruto and Raila Odinga. The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) lauded the meeting as an important step that reaffirmed the NADCO report’s strategy for collaborative reforms.
10-Point Agenda Under Review
The 10-point program, led by ODM Deputy Secretary-General Agnes Zani, addresses essential areas such as reducing the cost of living, economic improvement and job creation, youth and women’s empowerment, fairness and improvements in the electoral system, strengthening local governance, combating corruption, auditing public debt, fair appointments, sustainable funding for political parties, and efforts towards national healing, including reparations for those affected by the 2024 protests.
The upcoming preliminary report is expected to highlight accomplishments so far, identify legislative and policy actions that are still required, and establish a timeline for fully implementing the NADCO recommendations, nine months after the groundbreaking agreement between Ruto and Odinga was signed.
