Kenya’s ruling coalition has named individuals who will represent the government in negotiations with the opposition.
The seven-member team – five MPs and two senators – was announced after a meeting chaired by President William Ruto on Tuesday.
The opposition names its team last week.
Earlier this month, President Ruto agreed to talks with the opposition on electoral reform, but said they must taken place within the parliament.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga accepted the invitation and suspended recent protests, but insisted that the clergy and non-state groups be involved too.
Three people, including a police officer, were killed in the demonstrations with hundreds of others injured. Mr Ruto said the violence was detrimental to the economy.
