NASA Accused of Coaching 10 Kenyans Before Launching 2017 Manifesto

The National Super Alliance (NASA) has come under fire after details emerged that it had allegedly coached and paid 10 individuals to testify their plight and blame their woes on the Jubilee Government. 

The 10 are said to have received between Sh5,000 and Sh20,000 in exchange for appearing on camera to give a testimony that would paint a picture of a failed government.

The names were leaked on social media more than six hours prior to the NASA manifesto launch and wild reactions emerged when recordings of six of the named individuals were used by the co-principals to explain their manifesto.

Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi was apparently touched by remarks expressed by one of the analysts and commended her for her optimism.

"First of all let me commend the lady who has just appeared on the screen because in a minute she has brought out the challenges that the majority of Kenyans face but yet she could still afford to give a smile," Mr Mudavadi commended.

Some social media users were shocked at the accuracy of the leaked list as they followed the proceedings of the launch.

Others took the opportunity to call out the user who posted the list, accusing him of malicious intent.

Others defended NASA while others defended the blogger who shared it.

 

Good work thanks for this.
