Nasa has asked its lawmakers not to participate in vetting
Cabinet appointees as the coalition intensifies its protest against
President Uhuru Kenyatta's election win.
Their
five-point resolution reached after a meeting at Maanzoni Lodge,
Machakos County, chaired by leader Raila Odinga on Saturday, indicates
that they do not recognise the election of Mr Kenyatta.
"We have not individually and collectively delegated our sovereignty to Uhuru Kenyatta," the report read.
POLICE BRUTALITY
Further,
co-principal Musalia Mudavadi said they will use legally available
options to protest the October 26 victory, regardless of being upheld by
the Supreme Court.
Mr Mudavadi also urged Kenyans not
to attend the swearing-in of Mr Kenyatta at Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday;
and instead attend the memorial service of victims of police brutality
to be held at Jacaranda Grounds in Embakasi on the same day.
POLICE
Earlier in a press
conference, Nairobi police commander Japhet Koome said that the
coalition has not informed the police about the event.
"We
are not aware about it. We have not been notified. So, whoever thinks
he has intentions to do that [and] he does not involve police, why don’t
you tell that person that the law will deal with such a situation
firmly?" Mr Koome said.
