NASA co-principal Raila Odinga has dismissed claims of political unrest in the coalition and termed such reports as mere propaganda by government machinery.
Raila said the Jubilee government was working with the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in collaboration with a section of the media to propagate the narrative.
He however said that the level of political experience within NASA was their weapon, adding that they could detect malice from the government and suppress it in time.
"A number of us in NASA have been in politics and public life long enough to notice when the so-called unease is being pushed and exaggerated by the Government using intelligence agencies, and that is what is going on," he said.
He accused the government agency of feeding the media with exaggerated information to create discord among NASA supporters.
"Jubilee has deployed the services of the NIS (National Intelligence Service) to feed media with information exaggerating discord in Opposition ranks. The aim is to make our supporters give up and also to break up the Opposition," he added.
Raila was speaking this in an exclusive interview with the Standard.
