With the return of NASA leader Raila Odinga into the country, NASA and Jubilee have continued to exchange political jabs over the October 26 election.
While away, Jubilee accused Raila of seeking the intervention of foreign countries to broker a nusu-mkate deal so that he can ascend to power.
Speaking at a Jubilee rally, Deputy President William Ruto said Raila was begging foreign nations to force mediation talks to form such a government that would not exist.
“He is crying before the foreign countries so that they can sympathise with him and set up a team that will oversee mediation. But even if he goes to Europe, Washington, pass through Mexico or go to Casablanca, there will be nonusu mkate,” said Ruto.
Ruto said he is the one who brokered the peace talks in 2007 and that he would not do it again for Raila who “misbehaved and gave former President Mwai Kibaki a hard time”.
“I helped him get the coalition deal but he misbehaved, always complaining about issues like half a carpet. This time there will be no power-sharing deal,” Ruto added.
But in response, Raila said he was not interested with the said nusu-mkate deal, adding that he was the legitimate president to take over the country's leadership.
“I am not interested in nusu mkate, we need full boflo (bread), (I’m not interested in sharing power. I want to be fully in charge),” said Mr Odinga.
He was speaking at the Mama Ngina Drive in Mombasa after returning from his European tour.
