Le Party of National Unity (PNU) appelle a une reunion de ses membres pour discuter d'un eventuel retrait de la coalition au pouvoir au Kenya d'ici le 4 mars.
Plus dans le quotidien The Nation :
"Party officials on Wednesday wrote to chairman Prof George Saitoti asking him to call for a national delegates conference within 21 days, with a view to discussing the withdrawal agenda.
This, they said, would be in accordance with Section 6C of the National Dialogue and Reconciliation Act.
PNU is one of the partners in Kenya’s coalition, with President Kibaki being the most senior member of the party.
PNU cited constant wrangling with partner Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party – led by Prime Minister Raila Odinga - as the reason for wanting to break from the coalition.
The officials - who included joint vice-chair Jamleck Kamau and Jimmy Angwenyi, deputy secretary-general Jeremiah Kioni, and Treasurer Christopher Bett - said the move would pave way for the formation of a government of national unity.
Speaking at the party offices in Nairobi, they expressed their support for President Kibaki’s announcement of the judiciary nominees last week, a move that sparked controversy and criticized for not being consultative.
The issue was a matter of heated debate in Parliament on Tuesday, and House Speaker Kenneth Marende is on Thursday expected to rule on the legality of the nominations.
However, on Wednesday PNU officials questioned the move, saying only the courts were mandated to interpret the law."
