Kalonzo Names 2 Things that Will Make NASA Drop their 11 Demands to IEBC

Opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential running mate Kalonzo Musyoka indicated that the coalition is ready to reduce its 11 demands on IEBC to two.

The Wiper Democratic Movement party leader said that he is ready to persuade Nasa to participate in the repeat election if the electoral commission agrees to send home Chief Executive Officer Ezra Chiloba and if the ruling Jubilee drops the proposed amendments to the electoral laws.

Speaking in an Interview, the former Vice President said Nasa would consider taking part in the fresh poll ordered by the Supreme Court ic the two demands are met.

“If Chebukati sacks Chiloba today and President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy drop their mischievous Election Laws Amendment Bill currently executed on their behalf in Parliament, I will request Raila that we teach Jubilee a lesson in the repeat polls,” Kalonzo told the Standard in the interview.

He said that there is no way President Uhuru and his deputy can beat Raila in a free and fair election.

“This fellows (Kenyatta and Ruto) are easy to beat in a credible poll. They can go on buying people at State House but we will floor them, let us have a level playing field and we will humiliate them, Kenyans are tired with them,” he said.

Nasa has presented 11 demands to the electoral commission that wants met before the October 26th election is conducted, failure to which, they threatened there will be no elections.

NASA has demanded for the sacking of 11 IEBC officials including Chiloba (Commission Secretary and CEO); Betty Nyabuto, James Muhati, Immaculate Kassait, Praxedes Tororey, Director Legal and Public Affairs, who has since retired and Moses Kipkogey among other.

Kalonzo dismissed claims by Jubilee that Nasa was trying to derail the repeat poll, and instead said that it was Jubilee which was out to block the election.

“When you withdraw the security of a presidential candidate and his deputy during the campaign period and introduce malicious amendments to election laws, this clearly shows that they are trying to frustrate the election process,” he observed.

“The situation is such that Kenyatta and Ruto must pray for us that no one is hurt, because there will be no elections, in essence we are joined together in brotherhood and therefore it will be in their interest that instead of reducing they would have increased our security,” he said.

“Such threats easily harden our positions that the field is not level to participate in the polls, they add no value, you cannot intimidate Raila and it is futile, it is defeatist,” Kalonzo said.

“Our supporters are our security, we feel safe when we mingle with them,” he noted.

It would be Unconstitutional, Illegal, and Foolish for Uhuru to be Declared President of Kenya for Term 2; it would be A Bridge to Nowhere. This 2017 is NOT 2007 when Kibaki was Sworn in at Night (after Maria Rigged him in at the KICC). Uhuru can only be Lame Duck CARETAKER president until Elections are held or when "The SCoK Decares Raila Odinga the Legitimate Winner of Presidential Election 8/8/17."

I m sorry that you read the law upside down and that your inept leadership only dwells in lies and falsehoods about what happens if NASA doesn't participate in the repeat elections. It is not my duty to offer you the ability to understand their falsehoods, but it disturbs me to realize of your ignorance to the simple law.

Mr Flip flop, you are only trying to find a way to save face of NASA. But it ain't gonna happen. You nonsensical demands will not be met. You do not have to participate in the elections; but they will go on. Whom are you talking for? We haven't seen demos in kambaland! He!

It is time for the president to give a state of the Nation address to Kenyans! In this he should highlight the degree of economic sabotage in currency, in lost opportunities, and the impact of the SP ruling and NASA activities to the GDP.

The president ought to address the business community on the way forward and the role of government in salvaging, recovery and protection. The executive must in collaboration with parliament activate a state of economic emergency measures to ensure sustainability of citizens social economic well-being. The Judiciary should be invited to clarify their role as primary actors in the future of the country. Pray fo Kenya. Masons like Kalonzo are desperate for it’s destruction.

Watermelon,, those are your opinion and remember you're the same man who asked a jounarist what's your name? When he said he is a kikuyu what was your response?? You also said that kikuyu's will lay low like an envelope. So before you point others look at yourself. Elections will be there either you like it or not

Self-made savior to mediate (rather persuade) the situation you and your allies fomented? What light has shone on Stevo his way to Damascus-near Canaan? The scripture puts it this way;
"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

Kalonzo and his longer time behind the scene lover Charity Ngilu are delusional. They have been misleading their constituents that Raila will bring development in Ukambani in order to bring it in per with Mt Kenya and Eldoret regions. Foolishly enough the Kamba people believes them. They forget that Raila has never been interested in development. Look at Kibera where he represented them. He never initiated a single projected and to make the matter worse he prevented the government from undertaking any. Same thing in Bondo. People forget that Raila is a communist since childhood and his real intention is to built personal cult based on socialist and communist ideologies. God forbid it but if Raila were to be elected President of Kenya today the first thing he will do is to build statures of himself, his father and maybe that of JM Kariuki and Dedan Kimathi, the later in order to appease the population. Raila is a man of great ego. He is a dictator. There is a lot of similarities between him and North Korea dictator Kim.
