National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga is this week expected to travel to the United States.
While in the US, Raila will address the US Congress on his pursuit for electoral reforms and the resistance against the Jubilee administration.
Speaking to the Nation, Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula said Raila’s tour to the US is aimed at shedding light about the political crisis facing Kenya.
The Nasa co-principal said Raila will also seek the endorsement of the US Congress in his quest for restoration of democracy in the country.
“He is going to address the congress on the situation in Kenya,” Mr Wetang’ula told the Nation on telephone.
Speaking while drumming support for Ford Kenya’s candidate for the Kitutu Chache South parliamentary seat Richard Onyonka on Saturday, Wetang’ula said Odinga’s speech to the US Congress will focus on the electoral injustices in Kenya.
“Mr Kenyatta can have the crown but we will not let him have the power,” he said adding the president is trying to destroy democracy in the country.
Wetang’ula also said he will lead a delegation to the European Union to seek support for the Nasa cause.
Nasa has already launched its National Resistance Movement (NRM), whose main agenda will be to oppose what they view as an illegitimately elected Jubilee government.
On Friday, NRM Parliamentary wing announced the beginning of products boycott of companies they claim have been supporting an oppressive regime.

Time to call or write to your representative and let them know not to be hoodwinked by this manufactured crisis. Time to let them know that here comes an bigoted vindictive dictator hiding under the veil of democrat. Let our voices be heard too.
I believe in the notion that…
I believe in the notion that the west can’t save Africa, Africans have to save Africa through honest dialogue, tribal coexistence, sharing power and not vote along tribal lines, eradicating tribalism, nepotism and creating jobs for our youth. However, calling or writing to our state rep aint gonna fly; every honest individual know Kenya’s elections were flawed, corruption is thriving and that their is disturbing meddling of institutions that ought to be independent. Here are the facts hindering your suggestion:
1. This administration including Obama’s knows the height of corruption in Kenya. 2. Trump administration rejected Uhuru’s congratulatory messages after trump won his presidency siding Uhuruto’s gov’s corruptions scandals and nepotism. 3. Trump and his gov’t cut Kenya’s aid due to stolen aid money e.r health ministry. 4. Non of US gov has officially congratulated Uhuruto for their “win” ask yourself why. 5. Trump are friends and supports the malicious and attention seeking Malik Obama.
Thank you for your long…
Thank you for your long counter with a laundry list of your usual grievances, but unfortunately you miss the point. My interest is not to address the Trump government, but rather my representative whom I vote for. So that he/she can hear from a both sides. But anyway, in other news we now know this was just hype and Joshua Kony is not addressing any Congress, but just meeting some committee members as Mwakenya said. And though you and guest1 were so excited (she even missed church today because god spoke to her 4 times yesterday), sorry to burst your bubble. So i move on to other pressing matters.
I can see guest1 , Doreen ,…
I can see guest1 , Doreen , CAPLOCK dude’s faces disappointed after the immature celebrations . As always they love the hype without getting real facts. sad!

Ha ha!?? CAPLOCK dude. That’s how I will address this dude going forward.

Time to write to the congress person. Tell them the leader of National Resistant Movement is coming to town. We have seen this movement terrorize business people in CBD, they have been involved in looting in various cities, arson in Kawangware and now they are attempting to cripple the Kenyan economy where 46% of the population according to UNICEF statistics live below poverty. This party does not have any positive agenda that the common person understands besides creating mayhem.

This man Rao is going to meet with a sub committee of subcommittee on African affairs…. Probably two reps. Congress does not give even foreign leaders an opportunity to waste their time. Stop hoodwinking wananchi.

Still a good idea to send our sentiments to this committee just to have it on record.

@mwakenya, so this man is bloating himself again, lies lies lies, just like the 25 billon figure he just threw out.
@mugi…. They have been…
@mugi…. They have been caught pants down. His rep in USA just confirmed the guy is not going to address any congress. If anything, he is just using NASA to fund for his trip to Maryland home and soliciting for donors. He will not even try to address his crazy gofundme donnors whom he fleeced off millions.
You are right,only about 7…
You are right,only about 7 world leaders have ever addressed the US congress.Raila will never address the US congress.He is just not up there yet and do not look he ever will.His followers are thugs and thugs cannot send their leader to address the world’s only remaining super power.
Thanks @ Bennyn.. These guys…
Thanks @ Bennyn.. These guys assume everyone is ignorant coz they’ve been able to have their sycophants believe what they tell them.

America is a democracy which accepts defeats. Raila will not be welcome. He is undemocratic and America does not support socialists.
The president we have has a…
The president we have has a very sweet tongue,Too much populist talk from the top with little or no action to show. New regime is high on too many roadside promises but lacks the spine or courtesy to fulfil them.things will probably get worse with the creeping intolerance and destabilizing politics which will have the obvious effect of denting the trust and optimism kenyans had of the “digital regime”.thinking about how much he says is pure BullShit. Not that he doesn’t have good intentions, implementing this things takes effort from a lot of people.
I wish this guy would fight…
I wish this guy would fight Jubilee Corruption with the same vigour he has clamoring for electoral justice boycott of products, for that he will have Kenyans support for sure
With all the Trump’s…
With all the Trump’s bullshit the Congress is dealing with….
They sure have time for Raila’s nonsense???
To Western powers “Boycott”…
To Western powers “Boycott” is a curse word, Raila will not be received well in US Congress where product boycott is confronted by congressmen and senators who are heavily lobbied and sponsored by big multi-nationals corporations such as Vodafone the parent and 40% shareholder of Safaricom. There is nothing new that Raila can tell US congress that they have not already been briefed the US Ambassador in Kenya, they already know how erratic and a touble maker Raila is.
Why do he think he is that…
Why do he think he is that important.i can’t believe that a hater Odinga is coming to USA to preach hatred.he is a sychopant of the west and I know he is bringing poronjo
Kenya is our home so don’t…
Kenya is our home so don’t show off because you are in the USA because any body can also make it here just like your were brought here. Raila unayemtusi na broken English zako hazina maana. try learn how to talk in a patriotic way. otherwise you nothing but depending on this US. just like other refugees(sisi-ourselves)
Raila Odinga is a slave of…
Raila Odinga is a slave of the West.why do he believe in the West policy about African affairs?its unfortunate that he is coming to USA to bring nonsense.he need to keep his nonsense in kenya.you think and worship America like an idiot.
