Likoni MP Mishi Mboko has congratulated NASA leader Raila Odinga for courageously taking oath as the people’s president.
Mboko says that Raila’s Tuesday swearing in is the beginning of a journey to reform and liberate the country.
Addressing journalists in Mombasa Town on Wednesday, Mboko said that Raila’s oath was the best gift for NASA supporters who are yearning for change and a reformed country that respects rule of law.
“At last we had our day and we congratulate Honorable Raila Amollo Odinga for standing firm and courageously taking oath as the people's president,” she said.
The vocal ODM MP asked NASA supporters to remain loyal to Raila, saying that the former Prime Minister has their interests at heart.
The MP also called for unity among NASA leaders saying that they need each other to push for reforms and liberate the country.
Raila took oath on Tuesday as the people’s president in front of thousands of his supporters at Uhuru Park.
The former Prime Minister took a solo oath after his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka suspiciously skipped the swearing in.
Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi and Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula also skipped the event.
The Wiper Party leader's absence at the swearing in has elicited sharp criticism and condemnation with NASA politician and supporters labeling him traitor.
Kalonzo has however defended himself saying that unavoidable circumstances made him to skip the event.
The former Vice President maintains that he is still committed to NASA’s electoral reforms agenda and will take oath as Raila’s deputy president.
