NASA leader Raila Odinga should consider changing his team of advisers because of late they are doing a disservice to him.
Baringo North MP William Cheptumo has said that Odinga's advisers are the same people who advised him to withdraw from the presidential race and now 'they are lying to him that he is the President'.
"As long as you do not have the instruments of power, you have not taken the oath of office in the presence of the Chief Justice, then all those other things they are purporting are just nonsense," Cheptumo says through an opinion piece on the Star.
Cheptumo notes that 'Tuesday is a very special day for all Kenyans and it is detestable for the National Super Alliance to purport to hold a parallel event on the same day'.
He says that the Nasa meeting set to be held at Jacaranda grounds in Nairobi when the swearing of President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto will be taking place is meant to embarrass the State and the people of Kenya.
"While it is their constitutional right to hold the said prayers, it is also very important to take heed of what the police have advised. Tuesday will be a security intense day. Therefore, it will be morally wrong for the opposition to plan other events for the day purposely meant to provoke the police who may respond by using force," he adds.
The MP asks NASA to consider shelving their meeting to a later date when the police are less occupied with 'such weighty matters' saying they are invited at Uhuru and Ruto's swearing-in at Kasarani Stadium.
