Alai slams 10-point agenda as unimplementable, calls for it to be scrapped
By Mustafa Juma, March 2, 2026Nairobi Member of County Assembly (MCA) representing Kileleshwa Ward, Robert Alai, has launched a scathing attack on the 10-point agenda tied to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), terming it unimplementable.
Taking to his official X account on Monday, March 2, 2026, Alai called for it to be scrapped altogether.
He dismissed ongoing debates around the deal as misplaced, arguing that key provisions within the framework cannot be practically executed under the current constitutional structure.
Referendum
According to Alai, some clauses in the 10-point agenda require the full implementation of the NADCO report, which has key clauses requiring a referendum to implement.
“Talk about MOU and ten-point agenda is stupid. The 10-point agenda can’t be implemented by anyone fully. How do you implement clauses that requires the full implementation of the NADCO report which has key clauses requiring a referendum to implement?” Alai stated.
Alai pointed specifically to sections of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report that would necessitate constitutional amendments, a process that requires a national referendum.
He argued that without a clear roadmap for initiating and passing a referendum, promises embedded in the 10-point pact risk remaining theoretical.
The outspoken MCA went further, suggesting the agreement should be abandoned entirely.
“The 10-point agenda must be discarded to the dustbin of history of stupidity in deal-crafting,” he wrote on X.
10-Point Agenda implementation
Alai’s remarks come weeks after the ODM party called on all stakeholders to urgently address impediments slowing the implementation of the 10-Point Agenda and the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report.
In resolutions issued on Wednesday, February 12, 2026, following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Mombasa, the party expressed concern over the pace of reform implementation and called for goodwill from all parties involved.
“The NEC received and deliberated upon a progress report on the implementation of the Party’s 10-Point Agenda and the work of the committee tasked with overseeing the implementation of both the 10-Point Agenda and the NADCO Report,” the statement read.
According to the resolutions, the NEC acknowledged the efforts of the committee overseeing implementation while noting significant challenges hampering progress.
