National Super Alliance (Nasa) leaders have told United States President Donald Trump's administration to recall American ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec.
The leaders, led by Ugunja Member of Parliament Opiyo Wandayi accused Godec of going to bed with Jubilee government, while demonizing the Kenyan opposition.
“If President Trump fails to act on our demand, we may be forced to petition the US Senate to take action against this ambassador who has turned rogue,” said Wandayi.
“More like-minded MPs and I will petition the US government using the relevant and official channels to raise our concerns over this grave matter,” he added.
“Mr Godec’s continued stay in the country is injurious to the long-term relationship between the people of Kenya and the US,” Mr Wandayi, who is also the secretary for political affairs in ODM and chairman of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee, added.
The leaders further noted that a majority of Kenyans have lost confidence in Godec, stating that he continues to take sides on issues he is supposed to be neutral on.
“We are aware that he seems to have profound vendetta against Nasa leader Raila Odinga after the last general election. This was confirmed on January 30, when Mr Godec convinced the other Nasa principals to isolate Mr Odinga as he took “oath” as the people’s president,” said the MP.
“He has not been objective as required in representing Kenya’s views to his country. His views have been highly skewed and partisan. He is doing diplomacy for a few.”
“His pretentious brokering for dialogue could not be taken seriously. He lost the moral authority to be a neutral arbiter.”
Wandayi further alleged that Godec misled the US government on Raila's swearing-in ceremony and the political situation in the country. The US last week criticised the opposition oath move, terming it unconstitutional.
“The feeling we have is that the administration has not been given the true account of the situation in Kenya right from the campaign period to elections and beyond. The statements they are issuing could be based on misinformation,” he said.

Getting old. You just burned the American flag outside Milimani court. Now you are appealing to Trump! Fala nyinyi. My foot.
Mr Wandanyi says "Mr Godec’s continued stay in the country is injurious to the long-term relationship between the people of Kenya and the US,”. Who are the people of Kenya? Luo's? Nonsense!
NASA IS ATERRORIST ORGANIZATION. NASA= ISSAS AND ALSHABAB. I WILL WRITTE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT NASA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
YOU NASA YOU ARE A JOKER. YOU ARE TERRORISTS AND MUST BE DEALT WITH. NO MERCY
@ Sokora,these morons led by a fake liar and Joshua will never learn.
What clearly comes to the fore about these lads is the futility, if not political rascality of that Tuesday, January 30 episode of shame at Uhuru park in the heart of Nairobi. It also exposes the immaturity of the average African politician who, regardless of his age and experience, finds it beyond him to accept that elections are meant to be won and lost. The truth of African electoral experience is that all candidates indulge in the game of manipulation of the process. Success at the polls is always a function of who had more resources to deploy. Ojinga knows that he was merely outsmarted and has no moral high ground on which to repudiate the outcome of a sham he, over the years, helped perpetuate.
It's not about NASA to decide whether Mr. Godec should stay or leave the country. He is there to stay and I 100% support him and any statements he makes. He is a good Ambassador and someone who respects Kenya.
As everyone above says, this NASA is no different than any criminal group. They keep on causing chaos and chaos in Kenya. Will burning the flag solve their problems?

Ni wapuzi kupindukia! They boast they are the most educated. Undoubtedly many have degrees, which is just a social accessory to them, to flag and boost with. They don't translate their knowledge into practice, rather I believe most take it home, frame it the olden way, then hang it in their living rooms for the visitors to see. Hizo akili zao ni za ajabu sana. Americans are very patriotic and burning their flag is the ultimate contempt. The only people who have been seen doing so are TERRORISTS whose names I refuse to mention as that is akin to glorifying them. Which people burn and destroy factories, roads and buildings they will need for tomorrow? Luos! Biting the hand that feeds you never yielded desired outcome. Not even fearing for the future of their children! Kama ujinga ina dawa, they should have the maximum dose possible...and I would not mind donating for this! washindwe.
👆So tru!
I believe Wandayi knows how USA deals with terrorist groups...
