Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has reiterated that he is in the National Super Alliance(NASA) to stay.
On Friday, Kalonzo told the Standard that he will work with ODM leader Raila Odinga as they seek to oust the Jubilee administration in the August 8 general election.
According to the daily, Kalonzo hailed NASA saying its the best option for Kenyans.
“We have fought corruption, bad governance and tribalism that has been entrenched in the Jubilee administration while in the opposition. We have witnessed the country’s journey to prosperity and harmony clawed back in a single term and we will not allow that to continue,” Kalonzo told the Standard on Saturday.
Kalonzo who made the remarks after chairing Wiper’s National Executive Council meeting said NASA was held by a common desire which is for the good of all Kenyans and to replace the Jubilee administration which he described as corrupt.
He further said NASA is determined to strengthen devolution and ensure there is equitable development in all the 47 counties.
“These are issues that have held us together as the opposition and it will be foolhardy for anyone to think that we can break up just a few months before the election, especially when victory awaits us,” said Kalonzo.
The former vice president hopes that the other NASA leaders; Raila Odinga, MosesWetangula nd Musalia Mudavadi will support his presidential bid.
He at the same time accused Jubilee of seeking to divide the opposition.
“I am hoping that my colleagues in NASA will back by quest for a ticket to trounceUhuru. I have never felt this confident about an election. Jubilee is aware that I stand an enormous chance of beating them if I am the flag bearer,” he said.
“The ruling coalition is very determined to break us,” he added.
With this affirmation, the Cord co-principal has dispelled allegations that he will either join the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee Party or even run for the presidency on his own.
