NASA leader Raila Odinga.[Photo/the-star.co.ke]Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has asked NASA leader Raila Odinga to drop his 'swearing-in' plan.
According to Wamalwa, the move will taint Raila's reputation.
According to Wamalwa, the planned swearing-in is against the law.
Speaking when he distributed foodstuff and clothes to Kipsongo slum dwellers in Kitale, Eugene asked Raila to respect the rule of law and shelve the swearing in ceremony terming it ‘illegal’.
“My brother Raila Odinga is respected locally and internationally and he should not engage in unconstitutional activities that will bring him down politically. The planned swearing in of Raila contradicts the constitution and will put him in trouble,” he warned.
He further asked NASA lawyers ‘not to mislead Raila to violating the law’ arguing that politicians should avoid pursuing issues that put them in collision with the law. “Kenyans including our respected political leaders should pursue political agendas that are within the law and I won’t like reputed leaders like Raila to destroy their political recognition by engaging in unlawful activities,” he said.
