Mind your business, NASA leaders tell Jubilee Party

National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders in Kisii County have scoffed off Jubilee Party leaders’ insistence that the opposition coalition is doomed in the run up to the August 8 polls because it has failed to agree on a presidential candidate.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) team in Kisii County led by Governor James Ongwae, Former Education Cabinet Minister Sam Ongeri and Women Rep aspirant Janet Ong’era termed the statements from Jubilee as unwarranted interference on coalition affairs, urging the Jubilee leaders to mind their own party business.

The leaders said that NASA is in the process of making laws that will lead to the selection a flag-bearer and ensure unity of the coalition going forward.

Former minister Ongeri advised the ruling Jubilee Party to concentrate on putting its house in order, arguing that the party has lost huge followership in the region.

Ongeri justified his move from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party to ODM saying that he followed the will of the people of Kisii.

“I followed the people. Clearly you can see where the people are,” said Ongeri.

Governor Ongwae said that Kisii has turned into an ODM zone due to government failure.

The governor asked the people to hold peace during the campaigns and even after the polls.

Women representative aspirant Janet Ong’era said that it defeats logic for NASA detractors to preoccupy themselves with the business of choosing a presidential candidate yet they were outsiders.

Ong’era expressed confidence that NASA will hold together in the run up to the General Election and form the next government.
