There have been concerns that the outfit does not seem to have assorted merchandise like caps,t shirts,flyers and billboards resulting in uncolourful rallies unlike their Jubilee conterparts who seem to have very organized and colourful rallies.But speaking during an interview on Radio Maisha Thursday,Arati said The National Super Alliance (Nasa) was not struggling financially as has widely been speculated."We are not broke.We have the resources but the problem is that our rallies are normally attended by so many supporters that we cannot give each one a cap and a t-shirt," he said.The ODM lawmaker further faulted the Jubilee government for issuing orders to the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) in Mombasa to detain containers carrying Nasa's assorted merchandise.
