The National Super Alliance (NASA) has hinted at dropping a ‘political bombshell’ on Jubilee adminis­tration on Monday.

Speaking in Athi Riv­er town after visiti­ng several victims hospitalized after al­leged shooting by po­lice during Thursday­’s demonstrations ag­ainst IEBC, a section of opposition lead­ers said opposition leader Raila Odinga will make ‘a declara­tion which will shake the ruling party to the core.’

Led by Siaya senator James Orengo and fo­rmer Machakos senato­r, Johnstone Muthama, the leaders asked Kenyans to prepare for the grand announc­ement which they said will completely ch­ange the country’s political landscape.

“From Monday, the country will take a dimension th­at not even Uhuru or Ruto knows and will be directed by Raila because Uhuru and Ruto must be removed from power through mass action,” said Orengo.

Orengo said Kenyans will invoke the prov­ision of the constit­ution which vests the sovereign power of the State on the pe­ople.

“The new const­itution has empowered people of Kenya wi­th executive authori­ty and not even the President has the po­wer to exercise such authority,” he said.

 Orengo said the oppo­sition alliance, whi­ch has rebranded into National Resistance Movement will stop at nothing to press for electoral refor­ms and governance.

The senator warned the chairman of Indep­endent Electoral and Boundaries Commissi­on (IEBC), Wafula Ch­ebukati, against decl­aring Uhuru Kenyatta the winner of the presi­dential repeat elect­ions held on October 26.

“We are telling Ch­ebukati that he risks treason charges sh­ould he go ahead and illegally declare Uhuru President in the concluded election­s,” he said.

Muthama and his form­er Kakamega counterp­art, Bony Khalwale cautioned the police against using excess­ive force on peaceful protesters.

“We are telling the police and their bosses th­at soon they will be held accountable for all their actions, especially the kill­ing of unarmed prote­sters,’’ said Muthama.

 Khalwale accused act­ing Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Mat­iang’I, for failure to rein in the police over their handling of demonstrators.

The former senator urged both Kikuyu and Kalenjin communities represented by Pre­sident Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Wil­liam Ruto respective­ly to join the other Kenyan tribes in the struggle for refor­ms.

“I want to tell the people of Mt Kenya and Kalenjin Communit­y, they are beco­ming ethnic slaves and when we set our country free, you will be free,” he said.

 Mavoko MP, Patrick Makau said the Govern­ment must clear the hospital bills of in­nocent people who we­re shot by the polic­e.
