Kibwezi East MP Jessica Mbalu has pleaded with NASA leader Raila Odinga to forgive his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka for snubbing their Tuesday swearing-in at Uhuru Park.
Mbalu notes that the explanation given by the former Vice President for his absence makes sense, adding that NASA leaders have to unite to win the war against electoral impunity and police brutality that has been allegedly perpetrated by the Jubilee administration.
The Wiper MP warns that the country is likely to be turned into a dictatorship by the Jubilee regime if Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula part ways.
She said that NASA principals need each to liberate the country and guarantee rule of law to future generations.
“The Honorable Raila Odinga, the people’s president should give Kalonzo a second chance and unite together in the fight against impunity,” she told journalists on the sidelines of NASA Thursday press briefing at OKOA Kenya.
Mbalu said that the criticism being thrown to Kalonzo for snubbing Raila’s inauguration is heartening. She said Kalonzo is emotionally weak bearing in mind that he is still tending to his ailing wife Pauline Musyoka.
The Wipe lawmaker said that though Kalonzo’s absence at Raila’s coronation came as a surprise and the reasons he has given for his absence holds water.
She appealed to NASA supporters not to condemn and ridicule the Wiper leader.Kalonzo has been sharp criticism and condemnation from NASA supporters and politicians after he snubbed Raila Odinga’s inauguration as the people’s president.
Kalonzo, Mudavadi and Wetangula allegedly disappeared moments to Raila’s inauguration.The trio has however defended their absence noting that they are still committed to NASA reforms agenda.
On Thursday, the NASAA top leaders held a presser at OKOA Kenya offices where they said that they are still united and ready to push the reforms agenda forward.
