Details of Raila's Parallel Government Emerge

A strategy paper allegedly from the National Super Alliance (NASA) has been leaked to the media, detailing the power structure expected to be unveiled after the swearing-in of Raila Odinga as the People's President.

According to the document, as seen by The Star,  a national organ known as the National People’s Constituent Assembly (NPCA) will be the power centre of the People's Assembly.

The NPCA will be backed at the county level by the Peoples Assemblies.

“In order for it to be effective and fully enforceable, the NPCA will need the unequivocal support of the respective county governments and county assemblies,” the document reads in part.

The former Prime Minister will be sworn in as President of the NPCA which NASA plans on using to achieve its objectives.

The document states: “It is crucial during the first NPCA Raila is declared the duly elected President and that he be the presiding President of the powerful NPCA until it achieves its objectives.” 

15 county assemblies have so far passed the NASA-sponsored People's Assembly motion. 

The motion is expected to be tabled in the NASA-controlled Trans Nzoia, Turkana and Nyamira county assemblies as well.

Speaking in Kakamega over the weekend, Odinga explained that his swearing-in would not be an exercise in fruition.

He stated:“It is not just about carrying the Bible. We must have a plan after the Bible. We don’t want to be like Besigye [Ugandan opposition leader].”
