Leader of Majority in the National Assembly Aden Duale urged the NASA opposition to stop their “unfounded attacks” on the Kenya military.
Duale said that NASA's recent allegations on KDF are arising from Raila's fear of elections after sensing a big defeat from Jubilee.
“If Odinga were a credible contender for the presidency, he would be a prospective Commander-in-Chief of the KDF and he would balk at even considering the idea of those irresponsible allegations.”
Last week, the NASA brigade alleged that the government was putting in place measures to use the KDF in rigging the elections.
Speaking at the Orange House in Nairobi, the statement read by co-principal Moses Wetangula said the government has already deployed the soldiers in NASA strongholds of Kakamega, Busia, Kisii, Migori, Siaya Homa Bay and Narok counties.
“Most of the officers will be wearing Administration Police uniform since the Army cannot be deployed for action within Kenya without Parliament’s approval,” the NASA statement added.
“Other army officers will be in civilian clothes and are the ones who will cause disturbances among the voters.”
