NASA strategist David Ndii has spoken on possibilities of working with President Uhuru Kenyatta under the Jubilee government.
During an interview with KTN News, Ndii said that he cannot work for President Uhuru Kenyatta he does not respect him.
He stated that alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta, they are not peers at any level.
"I don’t think he is qualified to chart the course on how I can contribute to my country. Uhuru is not my peer professionally, intellectually… anywhere," he said.
"You would have to work with them every day... I don’t respect them. I think (it would) be dishonest. I would have to pretend and call them 'sir', which I wouldn’t mean. And I am a principled person."
Ndii defended his vocal criticism of the Jubilee government, noting he has fought for the people's rights for more than 25 years.
"There is the presumption in Kenya that only in government can you make contributions to society...that what I am doing is not important," he said.
The economist noted his push for secession emanated from an intellectual thinking.
