The Swearing-In Saga: Raila Odinga's Controversial Plan

 

 

 Initially, when discussions about swearing in Raila Odinga as the "People's President" emerged, sections of the media reported that Raila had rejected the idea. These reports also claimed that the proposal came from the radical wing within NASA. However, these claims have since been debunked as false propaganda.

If the intention behind such stories was to sway public opinion against NASA's plans, the effort backfired spectacularly. Many NASA supporters expressed disappointment with the idea that Raila might have rejected the swearing-in proposal. To them, Raila was their legitimate president, and they believed they had every right to see him sworn in. They were uninterested in arguments about the practicality or consequences of such a move, including questions like, "What comes after the swearing-in?"

A Long-Planned Strategy

Evidence suggests that NASA had been working on this plan for quite some time. The delay was not due to uncertainty but rather a need to finalize critical details. NASA leaders had long hinted at their intentions, with frequent declarations during rallies asserting, "Tutamwapisha rais wetu" ("We will swear in our president").

Eventually, Raila Odinga himself confirmed the swearing-in plans, further declaring that after the ceremony, he would move into State House. This bold statement has raised many eyebrows and left people wondering how such a move could be accomplished.
