Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has dismissed the NASA opinion poll conducted by a US-based polling firm .

The poll indicated that NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga was ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Kiunjuri said the polls done by a company led by John Zogby was fake and gives a wrong impression to Kenyans.

He spoke when he distributed relief food to residents of Madunguni in Kakuyuni ward, Malindi.

Kiunjuri said the only credible opinion polls are the ones done by Ipsos Synovate, Infotrack and the Star newspaper, “as they are recognised institutions,” said Kiunjuri.

 “You can’t be a player and referee at the same time. You can’t do an opinion poll and you are the one on the ground. Fake opinion polls do not help.”

According to the poll, Raila is now the preferred choice of 47.4 per cent of registered voters, against Uhuru’s 46.7.
