NASA co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka has said Raila Odinga is still in charge of the opposition coalition.
At the same time, Kalonzo has rejected calls by some Wiper legislators for him to take over as the official Opposition leader following President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga’s handshake.
He said it is early to criticize the duo’s unity.
“The country has for long been ethnically divided. I support the handshake between Uhuru and Raila because for a lasting solution, people have to sacrifice themselves. Let us give them the benefit of doubt,” said Musyoka.
“NASA is actually under the constitution as official Opposition. We are still in Opposition and will continue criticizing the Jubilee Government especially on corruption,” he added.
Musyoka spoke at the AIC Church in Athi River, Machakos County on Sunday where he was accompanied by NASA co-principals Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula.
