The National Super Alliance has slammed President Uhuru Kenyatta, after he gave notice of the first sitting of the 12th Parliament to be from August 31.
Nasa said this is despite the fact that Uhuru’s re-election is the subject of a Supreme Court case where judgement is not expected until September 1, 2017.According to the coalition, there is a rush certainly, suicidal by Kenyatta, to defraud Kenyans into believing that all is well and that he is rightly and properly in office.
"It is a psychological war that is meant to make Kenyans adjust into accepting a third stolen election as they await a fourth similar fraud in 2022. Nasa rejects this fraudulent attempt by Jubilee to bury reality," said Junet Muhammed, ODM Director of Elections, on behalf of the Nasa Steerig Committee.
He noted that President Uhuru should seek to overcome the divisions in Kenyan society that the campaign and "his so-called victory have highlighted.""Recognizing and respecting the fact that he has only a disputed mandate as yet and that his so-called victory is being challenged would be a useful first step in calming down our increasingly restive society. The path he has embarked on will certainly deepen the crisis of governance that has troubled the country these past 10 years beginning with the stolen elections of 2007."Nasa reminded Jubilee that in the wake of the botched 2013 elections and the Supreme Court’s 'controversial' decision, a huge section of Kenya never accepted the legitimacy of jubilee regime, even as Kenyans agreed to put up with it for the sake of the country. "Continuing on this path will never be helpful at all," said Junet, Thursday.
