Swearing-in Raila is Inconsequential, NASA MP Says

A National Super Alliance (NASA) Member of Parliament has urged opposition leader Raila Odinga to abandon his pending swearing in ceremony, terming it inconsequential.

West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi said the planned inauguration will not make Odinga the head of state as he will have no instruments of power currently held by President Kenyatta.

“The swearing-in is of no significance because which Statehouse is he going to occupy? Which army is he going to command? Which resources will he have control over as the want-to-be head of State?” Kemosi posed.

“The country has lost a lot over the previous six months of politicking and at this moment we should be focused on finding solutions to various challenges which we are facing and how to move forward peacefully without any confusions arising from our politicians,” the MP added.

The Ford Kenya MP also accused Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party of shortchanging the other Nasa affiliate parties during the sharing of House Committees positions.

“Before we went to elections, we had an agreement which was binding to the coalition partners. But we were surprised that the ODM Party decided to take up everything without considering those from the other coalition partnership,” he said.
