NASA Leader Raila Odinga Hints at Forming His Government in Exile

Opposition Leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday affirmed that he will form a parallel government at all costs.

Speaking to Voice of America, The National Super Alliance (NASA) leader noted that he will not stop his quest to ensure that the Opposition forms a government even if it is in exile.

The former Prime Minister explained that he was the winner of the August 8 Presidential election and will use those results to be inaugurated as the People's President.

"This is no joke. An illegitimate government is in office, and the one that the people actually wanted to be there is outside. On January 30, we will end this. We will be sworn in with the August 8 results that show we won.

"We can even be a government in exile, one that works from outside. It has happened in other countries. What we are saying is that Kenyans can no longer allow an illegitimate government not elected by the people to rule them. We will work like a government, we will form a Cabinet and we will work as a government,” he stated during the interview.

Addressing claims that the coalition was split regarding his planned inauguration, the Opposition Chief dismissed the allegations and noted that all the principals and NASA members were united and supported the move.

"There is no rift in NASA at all. No problems whatsoever. My brothers are fully behind the course.

"In a large family like NASA, these things are bound to occur. There will be cases where one family is demanding a fish and vice-versa. That is normal," Odinga stated.

Meanwhile, arrangements to have Mr Odinga and his co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka sworn in at the end of the month are on top gear with a section of legislators from the coalition signing affidavits on Wednesday vowing to support the inauguration bid.
