Leaders in NASA Reject Raila's New Order

A group of leaders affiliated to the National Super Alliance (NASA) on Wednesday disagreed with Opposition leader Raila Odinga's call to boycott products and services of some companies.

Under the Luo National Youth Caucus, the leaders noted that numerous losses in Nyanza region were being reported and called on Mr Odinga to rethink his stand.

 The group Chairman, Roy K’Obwanga, explained that the Nyanza region was suffering economically and a different path should be taken by the coalition.

The caucus members announced that they will spread the message to other counties since many people are suffering silently.

Meanwhile, Nyandarua Woman Representative Faith Gitau last week revealed that Opposition supporters will suffer following the economic boycott announcement by their leaders.

Addressing residents at Mirangine in Ol Kalou, the Jubilee legislator urged Kenyans to ignore calls by Mr Odinga to boycott certain products.

"The boycotting of some products will only lead to suffering of our brothers and sisters, mostly from his strongholds, while he is comfortable in Nairobi enjoying life.

"Suppose today power is disconnected in Kisumu, his people consume Unga and without power, they will not get it. Who will suffer?" she added.

Ms Gitau assured that Odinga's mass action would not work urging President Uhuru Kenyatta not to give in to the Opposition leaders' demands.

"He (Raila) is not the government and has no power. We want to tell Raila that his end has come. He needs to retire honorably," she declared.

She made the remarks after NASA leaders came out and asked their supporters not to seek services and products from some companies which they accused of supporting the Jubilee administration.
