State House now claims the power-sharing deal created by the five NASA principals is a threat to the development projects initiated by the Jubilee administration. The head of Presidential Strategic Communication Unit Manoah Esipisu said opposition leaders are only looking to waste public resources in the creation of the posts of Premier Cabinet Secretary and Deputy Premier Cabinet Secretaries.He observed that the plans by the opposition threaten ongoing projects as it would channel money into a referendum rather than development.“You know the work the President is doing. These are the programmes that will be threatened by suddenly shifting billions to fund a referendum to create phantom jobs for the three people,” Esipisu said on Sunday.Last week, NASA named Raila Odinga (ODM) its presidential candidate, with Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) as his running mate.ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi is proposed to be Premier Cabinet Secretary deputised by Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya) and Isaac Ruto of Chama Cha Mashinani, should the Opposition alliance form government after August 8 general elections.Esipisu in his briefing also noted the move is likely to backfire given that the electorate is already burdened with other elective positions.“The country cannot afford to spend billions to please the three men, it needs to create jobs for the millions of youth who actually need them,” he added.
