[Photo|ODM]NASA leader Raila Odinga has laughed off claims that his elder brother Oburu Odinga met President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party leadership.Reports said the former Bondo lawmaker negotiated an election deal on behalf of NASA with Jubilee Party so as to bring the two top political rivals together.On Tuesday, Raila termed the claims as propaganda being spread by Jubilee."They (Jubilee) are the ones desperate for the discussions and keep sending emissaries to that end. I have said repeatedly that I am ready for discussions with Uhuru Kenyatta if these concern the issue of electoral justice, the lack of which is destroying Kenya's stability. No other dialogue is possible until that fundamental issue of the illegitimacy of the President is resolved," he said. Odinga said that emissaries had reached out to try to negotiate calling off NASA's planned memorial service at Jacaranda grounds while Uhuru's 'coronation' was going on at Kasarani.  "Uhuru is totally out of touch with Kenyans' and my own views," Odinga said. "Right now, his biggest concern was that dignitaries who came for the coronation not see the depth of opposition to him that the memorial service would have made obvious." "We in NASA are proceeding with our People's Assembly programme which will see new elections held. Our boycott of the sham 26th October election, the programme’s first goal, was a staggering success. Such a boycott had never happened before. Kenyans will never again participate in an election that is not guaranteed to be free and fair," he added.Odinga addressed supporters after police disrupted NASA's planned memorial service.His statement came after Oburu dismissed that he met Jubilee representatives.According to him, he holds no "serious position" in NASA to warrant his participation in any talks on behalf of the opposition.“It is not true that Uhuru sent anybody to me for the discussions. I am a veteran politician who cannot spit words aimlessly," said the former nominated MP.
