NASA MPs Given Ultimatum to Sign Affidavit to Support Raila's Inauguration

Fifty-four National Super Alliance (Nasa) MPs who are yet to sign an affidavit to declare support for the planned swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga as the people's president have up to Monday to do so.

MPs who will not have appended their signatures on the document after the elapse of Monday's deadline will have their names published in the list of shame, Nasa has threatened.

So far, only 100 MPs have signed the affidavit out of 154 lawmakers in both Senate and National Assembly who were elected under the coalition's ticket.

Kakamega Senator Cleopa Malala, who is overseeing the drive, said the alliance will make public list of MPs who refuse to support the course.

“By Monday, I will publish the list of shame and the list of honour. Those who have signed and those who have not signed,” Malala said.

“So far, we have hit the 100 mark. We are waiting for this weekend to see how many more will append their signatures.”

In the affidavit, NASA MPs are required to recognise Raila as the “People’s President of the Republic of Kenya, having been duly elected by the people of Kenya on August 8th 2017."

The affidavit further reads: “Had the IEBC complied with the Supreme Court orders and provided access to the servers, those results would have shown that the winner of the presidential election held on August 8, 2017 was Raila Odinga."
