RAILA ODINGA FINALLY GETS THE JUDAS KISS

The National Super Alliance existence has come to an end, four years after it was formed in order to dislodge the ruling Jubilee Party from power.

Nasa was formed in January 2017 comprising of Raila Odinga’s (ODM), Kalonzo Musyoka’s (Wiper), Musalia Mudavadi’s (ANC), and Moses Wetangula’s Ford-Kenya.

In a letter dated August 26 and written to the leaders of the four constituent parties that formed the coalition, the Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu informed them that the coalition has been officially dissolved.

“Pursuant to Regulation 22(1) of Political Parties (Registration) Regulations, 2019, and Article 15 (1) of the National Super Alliance (Nasa) Coalition Agreement, this office received submissions from ANC, Chama Cha Mashinani, Ford Kenya Party, and Wiper,” Nderitu said.

She said that after reviewing the submissions made by the three parties, the Nasa coalition stands dissolved.

“Article 15(1) of the Coalition Agreement stipulates that the coalition shall stand dissolved where any three of the coalition parties decide to leave the coalition.”

This comes following a move taken by three affiliate parties (ANC, Wiper, Ford-Kenya) seeking to dissolve the coalition after disagreements with the ODM party.

Earlier this month, Kalonzo, Mudavadi, and Wetangula signed a formal exit from the opposition coalition.

The three principles had at the same time announced countrywide rallies to market their One Kenya Alliance (OKA).

The three leaders of the Nasa constituent parties had also said that all instruments giving effect to the decision were being processed by each party in accordance with their respective party constitutions.

Among the issues that led to dissolution is the sharing of the coalition’s funds from the Political Parties Fund among the former affiliates.

But last week, ODM confirmed that it released Sh117.2 million to its former National Super Alliance partners.

However, ODM withheld Sh36 million share for Ford Kenya which is embroiled in vicious power wars.

Wiper received Sh70.4 million, NC got Sh43.8 million, while Isaac Ruto’s CCM took home Sh3 million.
