Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has revealed his biggest disappointment.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview on Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange show, Khalwale said his biggest disappointment is that the country is getting to a point where the Jubilee administration is beginning to look good in the eyes of Kenyans.
“My biggest disappointment is that we seem now to be incubating a situation where NASA is getting hurt, and Jubilee is starting to look good. Jubilee should never look good because Jubilee is very bad,” said Khalwale.
The Ford Kenya deputy party leader said only the opposition coalition has a semblance of the future.
“The huge turnout of Kenyans at Uhuru Park was a statement that NASA did not belong to the co-principals and was a people’s movement,” said Khalwale.
He said NASA erred by failing to quickly respond to the questions surrounding Raila Odinga’s swearing-in ceremony, following the move by his three co-principals to skip the event.
“I don’t see any difficulty whatsoever with one or all the principals saying sorry some of us didn’t come to Uhuru Park because on January 29 there was dinner hosted by Raila where UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had sent Olusegun Obasanjo to prevail upon the four principals not to take the oath,” he said.
Khalwale further said that the NASA principals had agreed not to take the oath, adding that he believes that might be the reason why the government withdrew its police officers from the venue.
The outspoken politician dismissed Raila’s oath ceremony, arguing that it was not a proper swearing-in as it was not done in accordance with the law.
“There was no oath ceremony at Uhuru Park because if there was swearing-in, you would have seen a judge in accordance with the law and the various protocols that accompany that kind of function. You would have seen not only the politicians but both local and international leaders as well as members of our families,” he said.
Khalwale asked the four NASA principals to "face the public and tell them the truth".
