Raila Odinga Explains Why NASA Keeps Postponing Swearing In

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has explained that the Opposition keeps postponing his swearing in to allow for discussions to take place.

In an interview aired on KTN News on Tuesday, the Opposition chief defended NASA denying claims that the postponement indicated a lack of strategy.

"NASA is very clear and what we have said is that we are allowing room for discussions. We're going to go ahead and do it," Mr Odinga retorted.

The former Prime Minister further explained that the botched release of a timetable for the swearing in was in line with the strategy of the People's Assembly.

Mr Odinga asserted that NASA supporters understand the mishaps with the swearing-in denying claims of frustration among them.

During a Christmas day service in Bondo constituency, a woman shot up from the congregation and proceeded to the front where the ODM party leader was speaking.

The woman who seemed to be the leader's supporter handed him a Bible in an apparent attempt to swear in Mr Odinga as president.

"Everywhere I go, you always give me a Bible to take the oath.

"My supporters should not panic; I am soon going to take the oath. I mind your concerns," Mr Odinga responded.

Raila declined to reveal whether NASA plans to swear him in as President of the People's Assembly or as President of the Republic of Kenya.
