NASA Leaders Threaten to Swear-in Raila or Secede if President Uhuru Takes Oath of Office

National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders say that swearing-in Raila Odinga or seceding will be their only option if President Uhuru takes Oath of Office for his second term.

Speaking during a rally at Jacaranda grounds in Embakasi East on Sunday, the leaders led by Siaya Senator James Orengo vowed to resist the Jubilee administration.

“We are using the law and the Constitution in this revolution. During the Kanu regime we wanted multi-partyism, but President Daniel Moi said no. Then we went to the people - did we get multi-partyism or not?” Orengo posed.

Orengo was flanked by former senators Johnstone Muthama (Machakos) and Boni Khalwale (Kakamega), Gladys Wanga (Homa Bay woman representative), MPs Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), Raphael Wanjala (Budalang’i), George Aladwa (Makadara) and Babu Owino (Embakasi East).

Orengo said Nasa will use both People's Assembly and the National Resistance Movement to resist Uhuru Kenyatta's Presidency, adding that Nasa must complete their journey to Canaan.

“One of resolutions in the motions passed in the county assemblies says someone elected by 30 per cent of voters cannot be recognised as the President. Stand up firm for your right by saying enough is enough. We must reach Canaan,” Orengo said.

They asked supporters to arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in large numbers on Thursday to welcome Raila as he arrives from his tour to the US.
