NASA leader Raila Odinga has explained to his co-principals in the opposition outfit why he decided to work with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Raila met NASA co-principals Moses Wetangula, Musalia Mudavadi and Kalonzo Musyoka on Friday where he was squeezed to explain his latest move.
The three also lamented on how they were treated over the matter, only learning about it via the media.
Sources said Raila apologized to the three before explaining to them that the only survival tactic for their coalition was to get into government and fix things from there.
The shrewd politician told his colleagues that the space for the opposition was becoming hostile especially the moment the Western powers alienated them.
The only way out was to forge a friendship and push for their agenda from the inside rather than from the outside, Odinga is said to have explained.
