The heated exchanges reflecting deep divisions between the two sides threw into disarray the possibility of the committee meeting its target on time.

There were different versions as to the reason why the ODM delegation of Musalia Mudavadi, William Ruto, James Orengo and Sally Kosgei left the meeting at 4.45pm while the Government side remained behind for almost 30 minutes.

The below is from the East African Standard from the same date as the above.

There was a moment of anxiety when the Government negotiators retreated to their office for consultation within Serena Hotel, leaving the ODM side in the negotiation room.

They later re-emerged and clarified that they had not walked out of the talks.

"We were busy consulting. The matters are weighty and critical. We are talking to our counterparts and very good progress is being made," said Mbooni MP Mr Mutula Kilonzo, one of the negotiators on the Government side.

WHO IS RIGHT? Help please.
