2 Unusual Things NASA is Planning on Raila's Swearing-in Day

New Details have emerged indicating the activities that will happen on the day Opposition Leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka are set to be inaugurated.

According to the Standard, NASA is planning to read the August, 8 presidential results from all the constituencies in the country at the Uhuru Park event.

This is unusual and has never been seen in Kenya before. The reading of the results will be used to affirm the coalition's position that the former Prime Minister won the August Presidential poll.

Secondly, the coalition has reportedly asked all its elected leaders to ensure their supporters storm Uhuru Park for the event.

Unlike all other past rallies, the supporters will not leave immediately after the event is over but will stay around to witness the activities after Odinga is sworn in.

"All our elected leaders including Governors, Senators, MPs, Members of County Assembly (MCAs) and member party officials will mobilise supporters and provide logistics for them to come to Nairobi.

"After the swearing-in, NASA will ask our supporters to occupy Uhuru Park after the ceremony beyond January 30 so that they can launch the people's convention within Nairobi before going back to their counties," the Standard quoted a source.

Meanwhile,  the coalition on Thursday assured the public that plans to swear in former the Prime Minister and the Wiper Party leader 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 by 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.
