Ignore Miguna Miguna's Claims - Raila to NASA Supporters

Raila Odinga has called on National Super Alliance (NASA) supporters to ignore allegations made by self-styled National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna that top opposition officials, David Ndii, and Norman Magaya were covertly working with Jubilee.

Miguna had claimed that Ndii was opposed to the January 30 swearing-in of Odinga as the 'People's President' and threatened to lead a walk-out from NASA along with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

He further alleged that Magaya, the NASA Chief Executive, had taken Sh30 Million from Jubilee to drop a petition challenging the election of Governor Mike Sonko as revenge following his failed bid to join the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA).

"I urge all our supporters to ignore the sentiments and focus on the issues we have set out to address," Odinga wrote in a statement issued on Monday.

He noted that Ndii and Magaya had served NASA with commitment and dedication.

"We wish to make it clear that as a coalition, we have full confidence in Dr. Ndii and Mr. Magaya who have dedicated time and resources working for NASA's course.

"The allegations against the two, if at all they were made, are very unfortunate and detrimental to the course we are pursuing," the statement read in part.

On Sunday, a note had emerged sent by Miguna to Ndii and Magaya where he accused the two of working to cripple Opposition activities.

Ndii has since termed Miguna's remarks as 'wild allegations', stating that there was only a disagreement on how the swearing-in would happen, but not whether it would take place.

"It is true the coalition disagreed on the much-publicized swearing-in of Raila Odinga as the People's President.

"I opposed other schemes like swearing in outside the country or in a secret ceremony like the Besigye style," he noted.
