NAIROBI, Kenya — President William Ruto said Kenya remains committed to inclusive national dialogue and political reforms, following a briefing on the progress of the Committee on the Implementation of the Ten‑Point Agenda and the NADCO report (COIN‑10) at State House, Nairobi.
The process, Ruto said, is aimed at uniting Kenyans, restoring trust in public institutions and translating consensus into “practical reforms that strengthen democracy, improve daily life and create opportunities for all.”
The COIN‑10 committee was formed to oversee the implementation of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report — a bipartisan blueprint for governance reforms adopted by Parliament in February 2024 after extensive consultations involving political leaders, civil society and other stakeholders.
It is closely linked to the Ten‑Point Agenda, a framework agreed by President Ruto and former Opposition leader, the late Raila Odinga, in March 2025 to address national concerns and foster inclusive governance.
“This process is designed to unite Kenyans through inclusive national dialogue and restore trust in public institutions by fostering transparency and accountability,” President Ruto said.

In recent months, the implementation process has included public consultations and stakeholder engagements, including dialogue with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights to ensure diverse perspectives are incorporated into the reform framework.
However, critics have expressed frustration at what they describe as slow progress on implementing key reform priorities, warning that delays could erode public confidence in the process.
Some political figures argue the committee risks missing key timelines as set out in the implementation roadmap.
Supporters of the process emphasise ongoing work, including public consultations across regions, and say the committee continues to engage with citizens and institutions to build a shared understanding of reform priorities.
The NADCO report and Ten‑Point Agenda contain recommendations aimed at improving governance, electoral justice, institutional reforms, and socio‑economic policies — including proposals for restructuring bodies such as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), enhancing citizen participation, and strengthening oversight mechanisms across government.
President Ruto said the government will continue to support the committee to fully deliver on its mandate, underscoring the importance of transparency and accountability in restoring public trust and advancing national cohesion.
