National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi are alleged to be fearing the ramifications of the planned swearing-in of Raila Odinga and Kalonzo.
The government’s response to the planned swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka and the implication of such action to the international community were key items of the near-secret meeting of the four NASA leaders.
According to the Daily Nation sources within NASA claim Mr Musyoka seems to have made a turn round on his previous public pronouncement that he would be sworn in beside Mr Odinga should the Jubilee State not accede to a national dialogue, same case with Mr Mudavadi.
The position of Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula on the issue is not clear, though the sources indicated that he seems to cast his vote in the direction of the other two.

The NASA leaders concern is that the State may mercilessly crash their supporters if they convene for the oath-taking.
Some of the sources claim Mr Mudavadi and Mr Musyoka has questioned whether the State will willingly allow them to assemble for the ritual.
“The hard question is whether the State will look on meekly as Mr Odinga and company assemble in a public place for the event,” an aide of one of the politician stated.
NASA has less than two weeks to the planned date of the event, and the four principals are working round the clock preparing for something that may be the most open act of defiance against a state.

The leaders are yet to decide whether to cancel the swearing-in altogether in favour of national dialogue that the majority of the four favour.
Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama, who is also the co-chair of the coalition coordinating committee confirmed the meeting took place but failed to disclose the details.
“The meeting took place and all the four principals attended,” Mr Muthama stated.
