The National Super Alliance (NASA) now claims that the ruling party, Jubilee, has planted 'moles' in its ranks.NASA chief executive officer Norman Magaya accused the moles of leaking secret information about the withdrawal of Raila Odinga's candidature from the presidential race to its rivals."President Uhuru Kenyatta was the first one to speak about Raila's withdrawal from the race two days before while he was at the Coast. Then it was a chorus from other Jubilee leaders and their social media spin doctors," he told The Standard on Wednesday."We suspect we have moles in our midst or Uhuru is using National Intelligence Service to penetrate our operations," Magaya added.The CEO, however, downplayed the leakage saying it helped them pass their message to Kenyans."But we are not scared because Raila's withdrawal was going to happen and it was to be made public. Jubilee thinks they are very smart and they can do things we cannot trace. But I assure them NASA has some of the best brains that take little time to track Jubilee activities and get to know their thinking. So we are not shaken by the leakage," Magaya remarked.
