NASA Gives New Update on Raila's Swearing-in Plans

The National Super Alliance (NASA) on Thursday assured the public that plans to swear in former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka were still on course.

Urging NASA supporters to ignore media reports that would indicate otherwise, Economist David Ndii termed the plan as the most significant event that would reclaim Mr Odinga's alleged victory during the August 8, 2017, poll.

The People's Assembly steering committee leader emphasised that the alleged victory had been validated by the Supreme Court when a ruling was issued to nullify President Uhuru Kenyatta's win.

Mr Ndii further asked Kenyans to ignore reports that claim the swearing-in is NASA's bargaining chip for dialogue with the Jubilee administration.

"Kenya is divided in two - those who believe that the country should be governed through a benevolent dictatorship and those advocating for a democracy.

"As the NASA coalition, we call for the country to embark on a national dialogue. The Jubilee regime has been unable to form a government and is lying to the public that this is because NASA wants a nusu mkate deal," Mr Ndii stated.

The NASA strategist explained that the Opposition was not interested in power sharing and they would not help the Uhuru-led regime out of the problem.

"NASA is not interested in boardroom deals, we've had them before but they have not worked for the people," he emphasised.

Mr Ndii proceeded to invite supporters to attend the Ukambani people's forum that will be held in Machakos on Friday.

"NASA is leading a progressional public discussion for the people to deliberate how to remake the nation so that it works for everyone.

"The Ukambani people's forum will be held tomorrow (Friday), the 19th of January and the discussions will be centred on how to share power and exercise responsibility, how to share opportunities how to co-exist peacefully as distinct communities brought together by colonialism," Mr Ndii outlined.
