President Uhuru Kenyatta who NASA does not recognise is expected to lead the country in marking the day. During is inauguration on Tuesday, November 28, a planned rally by the opposition was blocked by police. NASA has defiantly insisted it will go on with the swearing-in ceremony despite Attorney General Githu Muigai outlawing it.
Siaya senator James Orengo and a battery of renegade lawyers tore apart the AG saying his interpretation of the law was misleading. However, the steering committee left NASA supporters in the dark over the venue of the event and who would swear-in Raila as president. And in a new twist of events, the team announced that what would happen on the D-Day would be installation of NASA leadership.
This announcement elicited speculation that the much awaited swearing-in ceremony would be merely endorsement of Raila as the ‘people’s president’ as he is fondly referred to by his supporters.
