NASA to Launch Push for Removal of US Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec

National Super Alliance (Nasa) says it will begin a campaign to push for the removal of United States Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec.

National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi said Members of Parliament affiliated to Nasa will start signing a petition to the US Parliament demanding that Godec be recalled by Trump administration.

Mbadi claimed that Ambassador Godec was the source of some of the political problems the country is facing today.

“Nasa MPs will demand that Godec be removed from Kenya because he has become a source of the problem in our politics,” Mbadi stated.

Mbadi further accused Godec and envoys from other Western countries of keeping silence when Jubilee administration continues to violate the Constitution.

“If they are honest, then they must tell this regime to uphold the rule of law, freedom of media and respect the Judiciary," Mbadi stated.

He went on: "They should be ashamed to tell us to recognise a regime that cannot obey court orders, arrests Opposition leaders and withdraw their security.”

“They [envoys] have never supported our interests. They are only pushing for their interests including tenders.”

11 foreign envoys had on Sunday asked opposition leader Raila Odinga to first recognise Kenyatta as President as a starting point for dialogue to end political impasse in the country.

However, in a quick rejoinder, Odinga asked the diplomats to stop interfering with Kenyan politics, stating that Kenyans are capable of solving problems on their own.

The 11 included; Robert Godec (US), Nic Hailey (UK), Jutta Frasch (Germany), Alison Chartres (Australia), Sara Hradecky of Canada, Mette Knudsen (Denmark), Anna Jardfelt (Sweden), Victor Conrad Rønneberg (Norway), Frans Makken (Netherlands), Tarja Fernández (Finland) and Kim Ramoneda (France).

Last week US State Department expressed confidence with Ambassador Godec, noting that he " has our full support."
