Opposition chief Raila Odinga has revealed that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) is behind the unending speculations of an impending break up in the National Super Alliance (NASA).
Speaking during an interview with a local daily, Odinga stated that the NIS had been feeding the media with propaganda aimed at exaggerating discomfort in the Opposition.
The ODM leader accused the Jubilee government of using the State agency to cause disunity among the Opposition supporters.
He allayed fears that the Alliance would not hold together until the August 8 General Election maintaining that he was not worried by the so-called discord.
"A number of us in NASA have been in politics and public life long enough to notice when the so-called unease is being pushed and exaggerated by the Government using intelligence agencies, and that is what is going on," he explained.
Odinga emphasised that it was an offence for NIS to be involved in politics by campaigning against the Opposition.
"It is a criminal activity for NIS, which is a public body funded by taxpayers, to engage in partisan politics but we know NIS is actively involved in campaigning against the Opposition.
"NIS is busy profiling Opposition leaders and telling the business community how a NASA regime would be bad for them," he lamented to the Standard.
The former Prime Minister indicated that NIS was feeding the country with ideas of a stalemate and breakdown of talks on who would be the NASA flagbearer which he affirmed was far from the truth.
During the voter registration period that ended in February, Odinga had also alleged that NIS officers were being used to illegally register Ethiopians and Ugandans to vote in Kenya
