Former Chief Justice David Maraga has rejected President William Ruto's appointment of a five-member committee to oversee the implementation of the UDA-ODM agreement and the National Dialogue Committee report. Maraga dismissed the formation of the team as "wasteful and deceitful," serving only the interests of the political elite.

• David Maraga rejected the committee appointment on Friday, August 8.
• The oversight committee, appointed by President Ruto on Wednesday, August 6, is chaired by former nominated Senator Agnes Zani and includes Fatuma Ibrahim, Kevin Kiarie, Gabriel Oguda, and Javas Bigambo.
• The committee is tasked with assessing progress on the Ruto-Raila agreement signed on March 7 and will provide updates to the principals every two months, and to parliamentary groups every three months.
