Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has rubbished claims by a section of opposition MPs that he is obstructing electoral reforms dialogue between President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga.
Duale says that claims by opposition MPs are out of order and amounts to political ‘harassment’.
Speaking to journalists in Garissa Town on Monday, the National Assembly leader of Majority said that reforms dialogue is an issue between president Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila.
The Jubilee MP stated that he has not in any way obstructed any reforms dialogue.
“Opposition politicians should stop this malicious attacks against me and instead push their agenda without looking for blame games,” he said.
The MP accused NASA politicians of a witch-hunt against him for his tough stand on constitutional matters.
“They should focus on their illegal swearing in instead of looking for people to blame for their own mess,” he said.
Duale said that he will not be shaken in protecting and aiding to what the constitution dictates.
A section of opposition politicians is blaming Duale for allegedly hindering dialogue between Uhuru and Raila over electoral reforms.
The politicians allege Duale is working on the instructions of certain forces within the Jubilee administration to frustrate NASA’s electoral reforms dialogue.
NASA is now planning to swear in Raila and Kalonzo as the people’s president and deputy respectively on January 30.
The opposition says that the window for reforms dialogue with Jubilee closed a long time ago and that their swearing-in is unstoppable.
Pressure is, however, mounting on Raila and Kalonzo to stop the swearing in and embrace dialogue. NASA has lined up a series of rallies across the country in readiness for the January 30 swearing-in.
