Political analyst David Osiany has reiterated that National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga cannot be wished away.Osiany made the remarks in reference to the call by Raila for the formation of people's assembly meant to agitate for amendments to the constitution.In his view, Raila has been right in many of his past calls and he believes it is only fair to let the people's assembly progress before the results are experienced in the country."You can wish away anyone but not the character of Raila Odinga. He has called for the people's assembly and maybe there is something he has foreseen. However, how the people's assembly gets to morph is yet to be seen," reiterated Osiany.Osiany also dismissed National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale's allegations of misappropriation of public funds by NASA to sponsor their political activities."Duale has no moral impetus to raise concerns about resource use. Where has he been when there were issues of corruption in the government?" posed Osiany.Osiany made the remarks on NTV on Friday.
