Kenyans living and working in the United States are split over the planned swearing-in of opposition leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
While those who back the ruling Jubilee party are opposed to the plan, those who support National Super Alliance (Nasa) have endorsed the installation of opposition leaders.
“The Kenyan community in Diaspora that demands real democracy in Kenya supports the creation of People’s Assemblies and the swearing-in of Raila Odinga who won the August 8, 2017 election. These moves will take power from corrupt cartels and place it into the people’s hands where it constitutionally belongs,” a statement issued by Nasa USA Diaspora Team reads.
In its statement however, a Jubilee diaspora group in the US states that "this clearly is a calculated move by the opposition coalition Nasa to cause chaos in the country and neither the government nor Kenyans of good will should allow it to take place. This is the reason why many of us in Diaspora oppose it and want to distance ourselves from it.”
The Jubilee US group further chides Nasa supporters in the United Kingdom, who have publicly endorsed the opposition swearing in and has even sent a delegation to attend the ceremony set for Tuesday, noting that it was wrong for them to back “an illegal move meant to divide Kenyans further.”
“As Kenyans from all the 51 [sic] US states, we wish to categorically affirm that we subscribe to the rule of law. NRM is proscribed under Kenyan laws. All its concepts and ideologies, which espouse rising up against a constitutionally established government are in contravention of the laws of Kenya,” the statement signed by Eng. John Kamau of Phoenix, Arizona. says.
Nasa supporters on the other side argue that electoral justice is key for the stability, fair, united and prosperous Kenya.
“We also believe in an open, inclusive, transformational and people-driven political dialogue that will ensure every vote counts.
“We are aware that the people voted for Raila Amollo Odinga to be president on August 8, 2017, but the corrupt cartels under Jubilee through the IEBC manipulated and altered the results to show otherwise,” says the Nasa statement issued by Barack Wekulo, Ben Kipng’etich, Salim Mngolia and Dan Ogindo in New Jersey.

@YoungKenya wink wink! [sic]
RESIST! People of Kenya have suffered long enough due to corrupt election theft time and again. Swear-in President ELECT RAILA AMOLO ODINGA.
Yes, he will be sworn in with bullets and tear gas. Hakuna matata.
Right from a Moron's Fingertips.
Hai wahusu it is not like tear gas itawafikia pale wapo. Kelele nyingi tu.
“We are aware that the people voted for Raila Amollo Odinga to be president on August 8, 2017.August 8 election is null and void so that doesn't count, Raila had an opportunity to prove that he won as some of NASA supporters belief, however he withdrew from the race and advised his supporters not to vote on the 26 of October. So how can you forfeit an election then allege that you won, that is pure childish.
Fake Joshua is like Jim Jones who led his followers to commit mass suicide...... Jonestown Massacre: The Biggest Mass Suicide in Modern History.........https://www.bizarrepedia.com/jonestown-mass-suicide/

When corruption and illegality becomes the rule of Law, Resistance becomes a DUTY. Resist all machinations emanating from this jubilee illegal government.
What the heck do these ODM Odinga Demonic Morons think the National Assembly, Senate and County Assemblies are for them to take matters in their filthy hands to establish illegal People’s Assemblies in their poverty stricken counties? How can anyone live in the US or UK yet be so dumb and brainwashed as to blindly follow a mad man crazy for power to extent of leading his flock of dumb sheep to the slaughter house??? How many Luo fools must be killed in totally meaningless confrontations with police for this community of socially dumb or morally spineless professors and doctors to wake up from their nearly 55-year slumber for them to realize that their community if full of poverty stricken idlers who worship the Odinga family as their Holy Trinity? Enough is enough with these uncircumcised Luos and their fake Joshua. Let's if their evil devil will ever breathe the air in the State House after his coronation as the king of dumb fools willing to die for no cause. Geez, can't any politician or prominent professor or doctor from Luo Nyanza have moral courage to emphatically say that this charade by a crazy old man hungry for the presidency by any means has gone too far and crossed into the realm of insanity for the entire Luo community? Maybe Mutane Koome should have allowed the Muginki to plan a circumcision event at Uhuru Park --- then we really see how many of these boys would be brave enough to face the knife to make them stop behaving like brainless juveniles!!!!!!
@ Hon Kejuu- I agree with you in the statement “ How can a Kenyan living in the US or UK be so dumb”
The fact of the matter is, some of the Luos including those that are educated act like they never went to school. I can’t just support anything dumb just because someone belongs to my tribe. I haven’t seen any bold Luo standing up and condemning this nonsense. I think even those who are enlightened support it just because Raila belongs to their tribe. They destroy their own cities then they always cry they are marginalized- real *bullshit*
Nyanza/Kisumu has the largest funding. Many donors fund those areas but they always cry for problems.
There are some things I don’t get honestly about how these Luos think.
@HON KENJUU: Your utterances are truly juvenile And DOES NOT deserve response.
I see @Mbingu is in high spirits, trolling all over everyone here, like its cousin Guest 1, but I look forward to see it deflated in a few hours time once it realizes the quick sand they were building their foundation on was just that; quick sand. Have you seen a deflating tyre?....Pumz!
Gosh! those pips in laila's background look so serious (nervous). why?
Is Salim Lone the guy on the right with that Jalaba (sp) look? If so he is so fake...
One more thing... I am glad that Nation Media is now posting news with a Consolata Nkatha IEBC official proving to NASA minions that their claims are misleading and irrelevant https://www.nation.co.ke/news/politics/IEBC-responds-to-Nasa-over-Augus…. And she looks good while doing so. Wow!
Kenyan population, even in diaspora, is full of dumb idiots who cannot think. If you are so keen to embrace lawlessness, why not go home and fight instead of inciting chaos from a safe distance?
so John Kamau, a shrubbing pseudo-engineer chauvinist tribalist based in Arizona is 'Diaspora'. any kenyan with a brain will not listen to this screaming John Kamau for over 2 minutes.
I am talking to my American friends about swearing in of Raila. They are asking “ Is he mentally sick?”
Some of the Things are just embarrassing to our nation. Raila, Kalonzo and their group should be in jail. Do people have time to stop their life’s because of them?
If your friends are shiko, shiro and Njoro...meee
Baba screwed up the moment he didn't show up after the Supreme Court went above and beyond and voided the election. We have lives to live, families to feed and more. Can't stay here crying over spilt milk while Kamau over there making his money .
Dear Mwakilish. United States has 50 states. Who proof reads your articles before publishing them? What else is not true? Please, check your facts and stories before posting them for people to read. Sasa I can't even finish or read other articles based on this I'll hope this to be an error and not to be repeated.
