NASA asks People's Assembly counties for Raila swearing-in venue

NASA has written to 10 counties that have approved the People's Assembly motion requesting a venue for leader Raila Odinga's inauguration.

Raila has carried on with his push for electoral and other reforms and is now the leader of a national resistance movement.

He announced he will be sworn-in on December 12 while President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William were being inaugurated at Kasarani stadium on November 28.

The idea has been opposed and termed treasonable but the Opposition has sent invitation cards. It said the venue will be communicated after attendees are vetted.

The coalition has written to Kilifi, Busia, Homa Bay, Kakamega, Kisumu, Makueni, Migori, Siaya, Vihiga and Mombasa, which is expected to pass the motion on Wednesday afternoon.

"Following instructions from Raila and your county having passed the motion, the presidential inauguration team is requesting your office to provide a venue," the inauguration team said.

"It's our hope that our request meets your kind consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you."

The formation of the People's Assembly has gained momentum, especially with counties such as Kwale, which voted for a Jubilee governor, passing the motion.
