President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday met with NASA leader Raila Odinga in un-expected meeting that has been lauded by Kenyans and leaders at his Harambee House office in Nairobi.
The two leaders during the meeting pledged to work together for the interest of Kenyans after months of engaging in heated political debates.
However, the absence of Raila Odinga co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi at the Harambee Hous meeting is already creating suspicion and raising eyebrows.
According to political analyst Peter Ngure, Mudavadi, Wetangula and Kalonzo’s absence at the speaks a lot.
The Kiambu based analyst says that the pledge by Raila and Uhuru to work together could backfire since the other three NASA principals were not present at the meeting.
“I dont know why Kalonzo, Mudavadi and Wetangula were not presented at the Uhuru-Raila meeting and their absence in a way will have a negative impact on how the country moves on,” he said in an interview on Friday.
The analyst said that Mudavadi, Kalonzo and Wetangula ought to have a say on matters national unity since they are equal partners in NASA coalition.
“We don’t even know whether Raila was meeting Uhuru on NASA’s behalf or on his capacity as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader,” the analyst said.
He said that their (Klaonzo. Mudavadi and Wetangula ) absence at the Friday meeting could signal NASA's fall.
There have been claims of cracks in NASA with some affiliate parties threatening to pull out.
On Wednesday during an interview on Jeff Koinange Live on citizen TV, political analyst Barack Muluka accused Raila of allegedly betraying his co-principals during HIS January 30 inauguration.
Muluka claimed that Raila tricked his co-principals and made it impossible form not to attend the swearing in.
Raila’s ODM party has since rubbished Mulukas’s claims terming them as pure malice.
