NASA on Wednesday released a proposed list of its cabinet with Raila Amolo Odinga taking the position of President and commander in chief of the armed forces of Kenya.
Odinga, at the same, has appointed Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka as his deputy, while Musalai Mudavadi is State House secretary to the cabinet and head of civil service.
Odinga’s closest ally, James Aggrey Orengo takes up attorney general slot as Miguna Miguna is NASA’s solicitor general.
As he has long said he would do, Raila Odinga had himself sworn in as the “people’s president” at noon on January 30 in the presence of thousands of supporters in Uhuru Park in downtown Nairobi.
With only limited success, the Kenyatta government tried to block media coverage rather than using the police to prevent the event.
The attorney general and other lawyers of the Uhuru Kenyatta government said the inauguration amounted to treason.
Odinga’s oath was “I, Raila Omolo Odinga, do swear that I will protect the nation as people’s president, so help me God.”
The crowd numbered about 5, 000 people. Odinga and his umbrella political movement, the National Super Alliance (NASA) has never accepted the legitimacy of the August and October elections, nor the subsequent court decisions that resulted in the second term presidency of Uhuru Kenyatta.
The proposed list in our possession is marked private and confidential. Below is the full list of the proposed cabinet.
