ODM is Happy with the Progress of the Talks

Raila (leader of ODM) is in the center


ODM yesterday said it was satisfied with the progress made by the Kofi Annan-led mediation team but wished the talks could be speeded up for peace to be restored in the country.

Party leader Raila Odinga said the talks were not a “love affair” between the parties involved and appealed to the Government to cooperate fully.

Mr Odinga said they had made various sacrifices for the talks to succeed and asked the Government to do the same.

He mentioned ODM’s earlier demand that the President resigns from his position but which they had since dropped.

The Lang’ata MP thanked the international community led by the US and British governments and the European Union for the support in resolving the impasse. He spoke moments after a closed-door meeting with former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan at Pentagon House in Nairobi.

Thanks Deb, Sure do appreciate all the news on the progress in Kenya. We had a speaker from Africa this morning in Worship service. He is on staff at Haggai Institute. We will be making missions a highlight all this month.
Your study of Tim LaHaye's book sounds super.
Praying for you daily as I sit at the feet of Jesus. Marge
