The National Super Alliance (NASA) has announced that it would resort to countrywide street protests if the Jubilee Party does not agree to hold dialogue.
In a series of interviews with the Standard, NASA co-principals noted that they would meet on Monday and Tuesday to deliberate on the resumption of countrywide mass action if the ruling party does not agree to dialogue.
“Uhuru and Ruto are driving the country down the road of destruction, they only seem to listen to themselves. That is why we are considering the demonstrations to let them know that Kenyans are not happy,” Kalonzo Musyoka noted.
Kalonzo also pointed out that the Opposition was growing impatient at sitting at the negotiating table alone.
He added that the Jubilee administration had become rogue and that its actions had forced the Oppostion to consider street protests as a way to fight for political freedom for Kenyans.

NASA leader Raila Odinga, on his part, noted that the country is in crisis and everyone is willing to take up arms and fight for what they think is right.
"Everyone knows the country is in crisis. Everywhere we go, people are ready and willing to take up arms and fight for what they think is right.
“If no dialogue is held, we will soon go down the path of anarchy," he stated.
In regards to the outlawed National Resistance Movement (NRM), Odinga noted that it is an idea in the hearts and minds of people adding that "Matiang’i will continue chasing shadows.”
The former Prime Minister also took a swipe at foreign envoys whom he accused of abandoning truth and justice to pursue “short-term gains”.
“We know they are doing the bidding for their individual governments. But we are sorry that they continue to recognise a rogue government with hope of securing contracts for their home nations,” he added.

The plans for ‘swearing-in’ Kalonzo will be discussed during the meeting that will bring together the elected leaders, the people’s assembly committee and the coalition’s senior leaders.
