National Super Alliance (NASA) may be on the verge of collapsing after ODM and Wiper withdrew their funding.
The two have directed that members’ contributions be channelled to their individual party accounts.
Wiper started the process to withdraw its members’ contribution from the Alliance in a letter to National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai.
“I did write a letter to the Clerk from instruction of our party’s NEC that our members’ contributions are needed in the party first.
As a party, we didn’t feel the accountability aspect of the NASA secretariat on how the money was being used,” Wiper executive director Jared Siso told the Star.
ODM chairman John Mbadi followed suit and wrote to Sialiai directing him to do the same.
The Alliance has moved to the Political Parties Tribunal, demanding that it continues to receive MPs’ monthly deductions.
NASA has a total of 152 members in both houses of parliament with 119 of them coming from ODM and Wiper.
As per the coalition agreement, all affiliate MPs were to contribute Ksh10,000 per month to the outfit.
In total, the umbrella opposition was receiving Ksh1,520,000 every month from MPs’ subscriptions which translates to Ksh18,240,000 in a year.
