NASA 'Changes' Raila's Swearing-in Venue

National Super Alliance (Nasa) will not be holding the inauguration ceremony of Raila Odinga as people's president at Uhuru Park grounds as earlier announced, an opposition MP has said.

The MP, who spoke to the Nation on condition of anonymity said the prior announcement that the fete would be staged at Uhuru Park was a plot to hoodwink the government then hold it at a different location.

This, he said, would ensure the state doesn't not disrupt the event using police and other security apparatus.

“When we chose Uhuru Park, we knew the Jubilee leadership would thwart our mission by ensuring the venue is cordoned off by police. We have chosen a different location that will be known during or after the event,” the lawmaker, who did not want to be named, said.

Already, the Nairobi county government has granted permits to a church and the controversial Nairobi Business Community group to use Uhuru Park on January 30th, the date for Odinga’s swearing-in ceremony.

On Monday, Nasa co-principal Musalia Mudavadi said preparations for the ceremony are in top gear ahead of the D-day.

“Our communication in Mombasa on Sunday was clear. As long as there is no contrary message, the swearing in is on,” Mudavadi said.

Pathetic! If you are swearing in the President, why do it in hidding? How will your followers attend. Nothing is secret. Security forced will be on your tail the entire week leading to your event. Ujinga na upuzi.

Is the poeple's president that terrified of the police? They way he beats his chest you would think he will deal with the police ruthlessly. Very dignified swearing-in hastily in hiding...

The word is out- The swearing in will be in Joho's toilet in Mombasa. Overseen by Miguna Miguna, much to Raila's displeasure given their past divide. All are said to be welcome, mindful that the guests will double up as security on the look out for the law enforcement officers and ready to leg it at the sight/smell of an officer. Raila will be sworn holding the infamous book called Unmasking the Mask to ensure he understands his roots and expectations. The party afterwards will be debatable depending on outcome of the swearing.

l said that the Machakosi rehearsal was his real presdetial oath.let Raila expect no any other again.His prominent followers never believed.Today 23/01/2018 Nasa has said exactly what I predicted about them a day earlier I.e the swearing of the Raila and kalonzo will be a secret. Let me repeat by telling them that let them forget such day dreaming for the gvn eye is wider enough.Kujipikapiga vifua for nothing but just wasting a lot of time and filling people with a lot of lies.

Why don't we let this clown get sworn in, remove the title of opposition leader from him since he is a president, take the pay and security for opposition leader from him n he will think twice
