Opposition leaders in the National Assembly have disclosed their plans and expectations for 2018.
Speaking to The Standard on Monday, the lawmakers vowed to push NASA's agenda both in the House and outside Parliament.
"In 2018, NASA will focus on delivery of its promises to Kenyans, especially electoral justice and fortifying electoral reforms," said Suba South John Mbadi.
The MP, who is also the National Assembly Minority Leader, said NASA will keep government in check to ensure Jubilee keeps its promises to Kenyans.
"We will have a vibrant opposition in Parliament under my leadership, spearheading major reforms in different sectors," said Mbadi, who is also ODM national chairman.
Opiyo Wandayi, the National Assembly Public Accounts Committee chairman, said the opposition will effectively play its watchdog role, to fight graft in the country.
"2018 will be a year where more emphasis and focus will be put on taming corruption. We will deal with cartels both in government and the private sector to ensure there is no wastage of resources," Wandayi said.
On his part, Suna East MP and National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohamed said: "We look forward to sorting out the pending issues of 2017 in the first 30 days of the year. This should be done in an amicable way because if they are allowed to spill over, we might have a more politically charged 2018."
In his New Year message to the nation, NASA leader Raila Odinga said he roll out a boycott and protests timetable this week against an 'illegitimate' regime, in reference to Jubilee administration.
