Four major demands NASA is making behind the scenes ahead of Raila's swearing-in

Following President Uhuru’s inauguration on November 28, National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga announced December 12 as the day he will be sworn into office.

This he said is because Uhuru was not elected on credible grounds, despite the latter’s win in two consecutive elections.

The announcement left many people wondering what direction the country is headed to and also caught the attention of various religious leaders and some envoys from the Europian Union.

Raila remarks came in the height of political unrest as the country is divided with NASA supporters crying out for justice and Jubilee supporters claiming the elections were fair and just.

According to sources, NASA has held secret talks with clergies believed to be working with or for the US where they discussed the amendments they want.

Among other demands, NASA wants;

Fresh elections

NASA feels that there is the need for reorganization of the judiciary, executive and legislature structures in order to have better devolution and security sectors. This they say will require formation of a referendum.

Rotational presidency

NASA feels that changing governance to the parliamentary system or practicing rotational presidency will grant every tribe a chance to lead the nation. This is aimed at curbing what they branded ‘ presidency by two tribes’.

County Government empowerment

NASA is of the idea that if county governments are given more power to handle deployment f security, the President will not be able to send officers to any county without authorization by the county government. This issue was raised as a concern from the many alleged deaths caused by police brutality during the entire electioneering period.

Reviewed devolution

NASA wants counties to have direct access to funds set aside for them without going through the National Treasury. This they say will give independence to counties which will be treated as federal units that do not rely on the government.

Raila continues to assure supporters that he is still in for the swearing-in and does not recognise the legitimacy of President Uhuru and his Deputy William Ruto.
