Biparty talks refer to the discussions held between the two major political parties of the country. It serves the purpose of resolving differences and creating a congenial atmosphere for both the parties to have a better understanding of each other’s views and work together for the betterment of the country.
Following the declaration of Ndindi Nyoro, Member of Parliament, that biparty talks are a waste of time and should be terminated, there have been mixed reactions. On one hand, it is argued that the two major political parties have immensely different views and opinions on how the country should be governed, so at times, the constructive talks are bound to fail due to these differences. On the other hand, it is argued that the talks can still work towards bringing the two sides closer together as this can provide the platform for the political parties to discuss their issues and reach productive solutions that are beneficial for all.
However, it is also to be noted that biparty talks are not the only channel available to resolve political differences between parties. The mediation of civil society organisations or international organisations can provide a more independent and solutions-oriented approach. This can help in better understanding between the two parties and create an opportunity for a peace process. Similarly, non-partisan meetings, including those between political experts or journalists, can also provide a platform for the two sides to discuss their differences and develop understanding.
Overall, bipartisanship talks should not be considered as a waste of time. They provide a crucial platform for conflicting sides to better understand each other’s points of view and try to arrive at better solutions. While some progress may happen slowly, it is important to acknowledge the importance of the talks and see them through to their resolution. The involvement of civil society, media, political experts and other stakeholders can create an even more constructive atmosphere for conflict resolution. Therefore, bipartisan talks are vital and should not be treated as a waste of time nor terminated.
