NASA Prepared for Mass Action, Chief Strategist David Ndii Says

National Super Alliance (NASA) head of strategy David Ndii says that the alliance is prepared for mass action, should the Supreme Court fail to consider its evidence on election subversion.

Speaking in an interview with NTV on Tuesday night, NASA chief strategist defended the decision saying Nasa will opt mass action to fight impunity.

"We have been calling for mass action since 1991 and we will not stop as long as some people try to restore dictatorship,” he said during an interview with Larry Madowo on NTV.

"If change cannot come through the ballot, it will come through the bullet," he added.

“Protestors do not kill, they only resist oppression. It is the police who shoot and kill when protesters resist. Any killing is initiated by government. We will call for mass action,” he said.

Ndii said identity politics are to blame as some politicians have used it as a taboo to oppress other communities.

“We need to discuss why Kenya should stay together just like in an abusive relationship people talk and agree either to break up or move on,” he said.

"We as NASA clearly know that the problem we are dealing with is the political impunity and we know courts cannot solve this. We are fighting the election not just to win power but on grounds of implementing electoral reforms," Ndii said.

He said that even if Supreme Court fail to rule in favour of NASA, they must make a considered judgment that show that NASA lost fairly in a procedural manner.

"There should be open civil conversations on this matter and frightening people with secession will not help and throwing some statements does not amount to incitement," Ndii said.
