Siaya senator James Orengo says that National Super Alliance will not give in to blackmail by foreign envoys to halt their anti-IEBC demos.
Speaking on Tuesday, the senator said that their protests will continue as planned.
“We are not going to be blackmailed. We are not very enthusiastic about going to the united States of America. The diplomats have overstepped its mandate, our sovereignty cannot be surrendered to anyone,” he said.
“We are taken aback by utterances by the diplomatic community. They too have issues from their mother countries to deal with. America also has its own problems.”
In a joint statement on Monday, US ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec, speaking on behalf of foreign envoys, warned that travel ban would be imposed on politicians out to derail the repeat presidential election. The diplomats warned Nasa and Jubilee to allow IEBC carry out its mandate without inteference.
Orengo was speaking after a meeting with IEBC at Bomas of Kenya, where Presidential candidate Raila Odinga had been invited for talks. He indicated that the meeting did not bear fruits.
“None of the issues we raised as irreducible minimums have been met or responded to so we left without agreeing,” he said.
“We will meet two commissioners later in the day for a way forward.”
I thought Orengo was giving…
I thought Orengo was giving the middle finger. Listen Orengo and company, even the US is tired of your whining even though you claim to be victims. You are the same people who like to travel all over the world just to blow money and perhaps prestige after stone throwing and property destruction projetcs.So please rethink this.
Why is Orengo the mouth…
Why is Orengo the mouth piece? We know you want to overthrow the government through civil disobedience. But mind you, you people will die. You may not be enthusiastic about going to America, but you will not escape going to the ICC. Yes, America has issues but not the stupid civilian coups NASA has plotted. Continue barking like a dog, but sooner or later, the law of the land will quieten your bark. Foolish idiocy emanating from nincompoops is incomprehensible.
things being equal, i would…
things being equal, i would rather have american problems,infact its pointless to compare…
These fools wake up every…
These fools wake up every morning thinking of nothing else but how to sabotage the country. Let’s see. …how can I make the country ungovernable today?????????. It is the same as yelling fire in a crowded theater. You would expect to suffer the consequences. It is about time these fools suffered the consequence. Enough bullshit like
You incite everyday then you leave the country for a foreign country where you have stashed your stolen money. That is how it goes. So these foreign government are saying no. You can’t start fires in your country then get on a flight to enjoy your loot in their country. People want peace, not this non stop upheavals. Stop it.
Choices have consequencies -…
Choices have consequencies – it is a two way street !
Nasa need the proverb “Do…
Nasa need the proverb “Do not insult the crocodile until you’ve crossed the river”. Surprising that when the envoys are not on your side you have no kind words?
It’s ok. They told us not to…
It’s ok. They told us not to change the Constitution close to elections, but NASA has reminded them we are sovereign. By changing law to meet Supreme Court expectations, we are simply expressing our sovereignty. Who can argue with that? Thanks Orengo…but no thanks on ridiculous irreducible minimums.
