The Chairperson of the Committee on the Implementation of the 10-Point Agenda (COIN-10), Senator Dr. Agnes Zani, has strongly defended the operations of the committee, clarifying that its activities are not being financed by the National Treasury.
Speaking during an interview with a local television station on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, where she addressed the country on the progress made so far, Senator Zani revealed that the committee is currently funded by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Zani dismissed claims that public funds are being used to run the committee, emphasizing that no money has been drawn from the exchequer to facilitate its operations.
“The 10-Point Agenda Committee is currently funded by UDA and ODM, not the government,” Zani stated, seeking to quell concerns over possible misuse of taxpayer resources.
Her remarks come amid growing public scrutiny over the structure, mandate, and funding of the committee, with critics questioning whether it duplicates existing government frameworks or operates outside formal parliamentary structures.Supporters of the initiative argue that the bipartisan nature of the funding reflects political goodwill and commitment to dialogue and reform between the two major political formations. They maintain that the committee is aimed at fostering national cohesion and implementing agreed policy priorities.
However, critics have raised concerns about transparency, accountability, and the legal standing of a politically funded committee undertaking what some perceive as quasi-governmental functions.Zani reaffirmed that the committee remains focused on delivering its mandate and updating Kenyans on milestones achieved under the 10-point framework.
As debate intensifies, the revelation about party-based funding is likely to fuel further political discourse on the boundaries between party initiatives and state functions in Kenya’s evolving political landscape.
