Raila Odinga's supporters living in the US have organised a fundraiser to help the presidential candidate bolster his bid in the repeat election set for October 26th.
The supporters have also planned more demos following a successful one in New York on Saturday, outside United Nations headquarters.
Speaking during a dinner dance party held in New Jersey, Nasa supporters agreed to mobilize resources for their coalition to mount an equal campaign against President Uhuru.
“While Jubilee coalition has government resources at it’s disposal, Nasa which is a mass movement is relying on the goodwill of its supporters both at home and abroad,” Said Dr George Omburo, a member of the team that planned the dinner party.
Raila Odinga aide Salim Lone, who is currently in the US called on Kenyans in the diaspora to join hand in marshalling resources for Raila.
“Raila Odinga is a selfless man who has sacrificed so much for Kenya.” Said Lone.
Elsewhere, a group dubbed Kenyan-Americans for Peace is planning to stage mass protests in Dallas, Texas this coming weekend.
The group said the demos are meant to tell the world of the current happenings in Kenya, which has put democracy in jeopardy.
“We also demand that the government stop using government resources for political purposes. We encourage Kenyans in the Diaspora to voice their opinion against injustice and brutality toward the Kenyan people who are exercising their constitutional rights,” they said in a statement.

NASA supporters is okay but do not say Kenya Diaspora. You will do nothing now to change the equations on the ground. It is too late in the ball game. If I were one of the NASA supporters, I would donate the money to a worthy cause like the Red Cross instead of throwing into the NASA campaign dump. The NASA team is comprised of uncouth, incompetent, greedy psychopathic nincompoops who lack construct, strategy or conviction to move Kenya is the right direction.
Fund raising at this stage!!. Too little too late. Where have you been all along? train has already left station. However, lots of time for 2022 elections. While onto this kindly let us know what happened to our previous donations for last campaign. Did they catch-up with the two guys who disappeared back to Kenya with the loot.
Money was apparently squandered the last time they raised it. Allegedly some went on vacay,spent nights at Kempiski and Sankara with the load of cash they had collected. Ati Baba told them to lol. Could this be a repeat of what happened the last time? I thought once bitten twice shy but this, I have learnt is not applicable to Kenyans. We are a special lot.
Send your money to your billionaire rao n beneficiary. Before it gets home 90% will be stollen
hata ndururu siwezi patia any politicians including those in USA
