- NASA is planning on naming a parallel cabinet as they set to unveil plan of action
- Other than the parallel cabinet, the opposition intends to announce series of mass action and expanding list of products to be boycotted by their supporters
- The opposition’s cabinet is set to be unveiled at a rally in Kakamega next week
National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga is set to unveil a plan of action within a week on how he intends to take on Jubilee Party.
The Opposition’s plans include naming of a parallel ‘Cabinet’, announcing a series of mass action and expanding the list of products and services to be boycotted. The move is aimed at making the country ungovernable and force President Uhuru Kenyatta to the negotiating table to discuss what NASA insists is “tackling electoral injustice”.
Raila, who has been holed up in Malindi for the past three days with his top strategists to develop the plan of action, is set to return to the city today to continue with other meetings.
In Nairobi, Raila will meet his co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula and other leaders to fine-tune plans of unveiling a parallel government.
Programme of activities
After the meeting, NASA’s national steering committee led by economist David Ndii will convene a press conference to release the programme of activities.

The NASA chief is then expected to unveil the ‘Cabinet’ list on Monday next week at a rally to be convened in Kakamega County and declare the steps to pile pressure on Uhuru.
Raila and Kalonzo had threatened to be sworn in if President Kenyatta refused to hold talks with them on addressing electoral injustice. However, the door appears to have been slammed by the President’s failure to acknowledge call for dialogue in his New Year message.
Raila’s spokesman Dennis Onyango confirmed that there is a rally planned for Kakamega but termed the Monday date tentative.
“What you hear about Kakamega is tentative. The final decision will be made by the NASA steering committee. What I know is that he (Raila) will be back in Nairobi tomorrow (today) and will attend the burial of Prof Calestous Juma in Busia over the weekend,” said Mr Onyango.
NASA steering committee was last evening tight lipped on the plan of action, saying the public will be informed when an appropriate time comes.
“I will not leak any information to the media. When we are ready to unveil any programme, we will do it in public. We will invite you as we always do,” Ndii said when reached for comment.
