Raila Declares War on President Uhuru's Administration

John Wanjohi Oct 31, 2017

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has referred President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto as megalomaniacs out to destroy the democratic gains Kenya has made since independence.

Speaking during a media briefing at the Okoa Kenya offices in Lavington on Monday to give his supporters the way forward following the declaration of President Uhuru as the winner of October 26th election, the opposition chief declared war on the government saying that Nasa will not rest until justice is realized.

"We will continue to demonstrate, picket and assemble. If there is no justice for the people let there be no peace for the government. We will not allow two megalomaniacs to destroy the freedom of democracy," He said.

Raila further said that Nasa will have two organs, a parliamentary one consisting of elected leaders and the resistance movement each with different functions.

"The Resistance Movement shall be responsible for putting in place a vigorous program for economic boycott, peaceful protests."

He further rubbished the October 26th election as a sham, adding that Nasa will form assemblies that will operate until a legitimate government is elected.

"IEBC manufactured results to show that Uhuru won. Our figures show that only 3.5 million Kenyans voted. IEBC was never in charge of this (October 26) election, we saw county commanders, Jubilee politicians give information about a process IEBC should have been in charge of. We reiterate that this election must not stand, If allowed to stand it will make a mockery of elections.”

“Today we establish People's Assembly to restore democracy in the country. The People’s Assembly will have the youth, religious leaders, economic interest groups and the civil society.”

The ODM leader further said that Nasa is advocating for dialogue, but clarified that it should not be understood to be calls for coalition government. "NASA is for dialogue. All political differences are settled through dialogue."
