Nasa leader Raila Odinga was sworn in as the people’s president at a packed Uhuru Park on Tuesday January 30th 2018.
Raila’s swearing-in was characterized by malice from the government and even his own co-principals.
Here are 15 breathtaking photos of Raila’s swearing-in that took place on January 30th 2o18
The government shut down major TV stations including Citizen TV and NTV in a bid to block live coverage of Raila’s swearing-in ceremony.
Raila’s co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi, and Moses Wetangula were also missing in action at Uhuru Park.
The three have issued a statement explaining why they couldn’t make it to Uhuru Park to attend the swearing-in ceremony:
STATEMENT BY THE UNDERSIGNED NASA PRINCIPALS ON 30 JANUARY 2018
Yesterday, 29 January 2018 as the four NASA Principals we had a lengthy meeting where we revisited the controversial Election of 08 August 2018, which was nullified by the Supreme Court, as well as the boycotted election of 26 October 2017 and our reform agenda and in particular electoral justice, among other important issues.
We agreed to meet again this morning. However, due to circumstances beyond our comprehension and control, the four of us did not assemble as planned. Nonetheless, the NASA Summit (Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, H. E. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi and Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) remains strong and united. The Summit will meet within two days, to address the immense challenges facing this country.
We also rededicate ourselves to continued pursuit of our reform agenda for Kenya.
Signed
H. E. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka
Hon. Musalia Mudavadi
Hon. Moses Wetangula
