Political analyst Dismas Mokua has rubbished claims that the opposition coalition, National Super Alliance (NASA) is nearing its collapse.
The coalition has been undergoing challenges lately, with its top leaders disagreeing severally, a situation that began after co-principals Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetangula and Kalonzo Musyoka skipped Raila Odinga's mock January 30 coronation.
However, according to Mokua, the apparent differences and hostility between the leaders do not mark its end, noting that the alliance is based on a contract which is yet to be broken.
The commentator observed that it is only when three of the bosses move out of the team that it will be dissolved, a situation yet to occur.
''Muungano huu bado upo. Hadi pale ambapo viongozi watatu watakapoondoka ndipo NASA itakufa, lakini hadi sasa hakuna aliyetangaza kujiondoa (the alliance still stands, until when three leaders will move out, it will remain standing),'' he said.
At the moment, NASA leaders seem to be talking in different tones, with Wetangula opposing Odinga's union with President Uhuru Kenyatta while the Odinga and Mudavadi support the handshake.
According to Mokua, this is proof that the side is founded on democracy and each side is free to air its own opinions, however different from the ones shared by the other side.
''Kutofautiana kwao kunaonyesha demokrasia ambapo kila mtu anaweza kuzungumza (their disagreement is a show of democracy whereby everyone is free to have their opinions),'' added Mokua.
