Kalonzo to return after 2 months away

NASA deputy leader and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is set to return to the country Today,16th December, after two months in Germany, where he has been attending to his ailing wife Pauline.

Kalonzo returns amid a series of political activities lined up by NASA, as well as growing discontentment by a section of Wiper legislators on the running of the coalition’s affairs.

Kalonzo is said to be returning particularly for the burial of his long-time friend Francis Nyenze, who will be laid to rest on Tuesday.

Mr Musyoka will also travel to Arusha to attend the swearing-in of his son Kennedy Musyoka after he was elected to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).

Kennedy was elected on Thursday night after garnering 309 votes making him one of the youngest legislator to ever make it into the regional assembly.

The Wiper leader is also expected at a consultative forum on the People’s Assembly to be led by the coalition’s leader Raila Odinga in Mombasa on Sunday.

Calling off Raila’s swearing-in that was scheduled for December 12, NASA said they were waiting for Mr Kalonzo to return.

“With Mr Kalonzo Musyoka, who would have been sworn in as Deputy President, out of the country, and with his Wiper party asking that the swearing-in be delayed until his return, postponement was the only option that existed,” Raila’s adviser Salim Lone said.

It’s not clear whether the two will still be sworn-in as the People’s President and the People’s Deputy President.

The NASA committee on the People’s Assembly has, however, announced that the first inaugural session of the assembly is set for early next year.
