Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has challenged those linking him to a probable NASA exit to prove who among his fellow principals is more NASA than him (Musyoka).
Speaking during the reception of County Assembly Forum Chairperson Nassir Nuh into Wiper, Kalonzo said he is in NASA to stay.
“I am increasing my stakes in the coalition and this should not be seen as an attempt to take off. I have repeatedly said I am in the coalition to the end and I could be more NASA than anyone else because I believe our unity will be the only weapon to save Kenya from rudderless Jubilee administration,” he said.
His party Secretary General Omar Hassan supported Musyoka’s recent campaign strategy that has raised eyebrows.
“Even when we are in a coalition, each party has an inherent character and has the right to hold difference of opinions as long as the overall focus of the coalition is not lost. As they say, show me absolute unity and I will show you absolute dictatorship. There is unity in the coalition, the four leaders know that the unity is key, but as parties we will continue to strive and expand our spaces in the political scene,” said Omar Hassan as quoted by the Star.
However, Musalia Mudavadi has warned his ticket competitors against defections if they want to be part of government after August 8.
“No one among us can afford to do it alone and pretend that they can make an impact in the coming elections. NASA is a people’s movement, it is not built on personalities. We may symbolise NASA but we aren’t NASA. Anyone who wants to go it alone will truly go alone because that move will not break NASA,” Mudavadi said.
