Jubilee Member of Parliament MP Joshua Kotuny on Wednesday revealed the secret reason why NASA leader Raila Odinga formed the People's Assembly under the National Resistance Movement.
The Cherangany MP indicated that the formation of the assembly was a way of the veteran politician to concede defeat to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In his statement, the Jubilee MP noted that the former Prime Minister was simply asking his supporters to go back to work and accept the verdict.
“You do not have to be a political analyst or expert to know that Baba has given up or conceded.
"When he talked about the formation of the People’s Assembly that was as good as giving up,” Kutuny noted.

The former advisor of the Head of State also indicated that it was essential for the two leaders to engage in dialogue to forge a way forward.
"Uhuru means well for the country and I am certain that at some point the two leaders will have to put their political differences aside and engage in meaningful talks that will save this country from any form of political turmoil,” he stated.
His Garissa Township counterpart, Aden Duale, differed with Mr Kutuny indicating that Odinga has run out of ideas and is just trying to initiate formations which are not based on the Constitution.
"Odinga’s formation is not in the Constitution. What is found in the Constitution is the Houses Parliament, the National Assembly, Senate and the County Assemblies," he stated.

Mr Odinga indicated that the people’s assembly would continue to exist until a legitimate Presidency is installed in the country.
