Revealed:The powerful Position Raila was offered to Cancel his Swearing-in

Emerging reports have it that National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga was issued with an appealing proposal in a bid to stop the push for his swearing-in ,which was later rescheduled to take place on January 30, 2018.

According to the Daily Nation, allies of Mr Odinga reveled to them that Foreign diplomats, spearheaded by the US, UK and Germany, were behind plans to have the Opposition chief elevated to the status of a statesman.

The position would come with special privileges and complete with the trappings of state power.

According to the negotiated deal,the former Premier would be given an office,a motorcade,staff and a commensurate package that will allow Mr Odinga to travel the world promoting Kenya’s image and giving talks on democracy.

Furthermore,the package would come with a retirement deal commensurate with Mr Odinga’s long career in the public service and a further promise to support his push for reforms.

REJECTED

However, Raila is said to have rejected the proposals, saying they do not represent the interests of Kenyans yearning for electoral justice.

A source in Nasa confided he also rejected the proposal because it does not address the interests of the larger Nasa family.

“Assuming I accept, what will I do with my colleagues in Nasa?” Mr Odinga is reported to have asked the ambassador when the proposal was made.

The committee organizing the swearing-in have set January 30 as the deadline for talks with Jubilee party, failure to which Mr Odinga will be sworn in as the people’s president and Mr Musyoka as his deputy.
