Kwale Women Representative Zuleikha Hassan has slammed critics questioning NASA’s push for the creation of people’s assemblies.Speaking to journalists in Kwale Town on Wednesday Juma said the creation of people’s assemblies is constitutional and no one can stop it.The ODM MP asked NASA supporters to ignore critics and support the opposition’s agenda.She also asked Kwale MCAs to adopt the people’s assembly motion once it is tabled at the County Assembly.Juma said the constitution gives the people the power to choose and decide what they want.“We will not be cowed or discouraged by critics in our quest for electoral reforms and justice,” said Hassan.The MP rubbished claims that the people’s assemblies are a ploy to overthrow the government.She said the assemblies will rely on the constitution as they push their electoral reforms agenda forward. The Women Rep also urged residents to heed NASA’s economic boycott calls, noting that it is a punishment to companies that are allegedly working with Jubilee to undermine democracy and electoral justice.NASA’s push for the creation of people’s assemblies has been criticised with a majority of Jubilee politicians terming it unconstitutional.
