Why NASA has suspended the People’s Assembly agenda
Written by admin on March 12, 2018
Those were the words of NASA strategist David Ndii few minutes after suspending the People’s Assembly agenda.
In the newest twist of political turns, Dr. Ndii who is also the Steering Committee Chair of opposition NASA announced the dismissal of the People’s Assembly process saying that they found it appropriate upon request.
This comes three days after NASA leader Raila Odinga began a reconciliatory process with President Uhuru Kenyatta calling for truce into their highly polarized political vendettas.
Raila has since joined three NASA co-principals among them Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka, ANC’s Musalia Mudavadi and Senator Moses Wetangula for a meeting at Stoni Athi Resort in Machakos County today, to chat the coalition’s political future amid tension.
Speaking exclusively to KTN NEWS, Ndii said that the sole purpose of the suspension was so “they could reason together and give unity an opportunity”, acknowledging the fact that the country has indeed suffered ethnic polarization since the August General Election.
However, NASA will not stop fighting for electoral reforms and forging the people’s agenda as was made clear by the coalition’s principals.
People’s Assembly
The People’s Assembly was launched late last year by the opposition NASA to steer forward the people’s agenda ahead of Raila’s “swearing-in” that took place on January 30.
The country has since been thrust into a political stalemate with neither of the two major coalitions, Jubilee and NASA willing to give in to dialogue until last week Friday, when President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga chose to bury the hatchet by signing the unity pact. Both leaders who are political nemesis agreed to work together, saying that the country was not going to burn under their watch.
