A section of NASA legislators have threatened to petition the US government in order to have US ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec recalled.
Led by Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi, the MPs accused Godec of discharging his duties with biasness.
Speaking on Monday, Wandayi noted that a draft petition which is to be presented to the relevant US committee senate to raise their concerns over the issues, was being prepared.
“More like-minded MPs and I will petition the US government using the relevant and official channels to raise our concerns over this grave matter,” Nation quotes Wandayi.
The ODM secretary for political affairs added, “Mr Godec’s continued stay in the country is injurious to the long-term relationship between the people of Kenya and the US."
The Opposition lawmaker also claimed that the US envoy had convinced the other three NASA principals not to accompany the former prime minister Raila Odinga as he took his oath of office as 'people's president.'
“We are aware that he seems to have profound vendetta against Nasa leader Raila Odinga after the last general election. This was confirmed on January 30, when Mr Godec convinced the other Nasa principals to isolate Mr Odinga as he took “oath” as the people’s president,” wandayi said.
He added that Godec was not objective as required in representing Kenya’s views to his country.
"His views have been highly skewed and partisan. He is doing diplomacy for a few," he said.
