Former Vice President Musalia Mudavadi has explained new revelations on why he was missing in action during NASA’s controversial event at Uhuru Park dubbed ‘Swearing In Of People President’.
His recent reason, that the event was not according to the constitution contradicts with his previous stand on his underground position.
While speaking to Citizen TV on 22nd August, Nasa co-principal Mudavadi said that the event was ‘unconstitutional’.
Amani National Congress leader also told the local TV channel that his reason to stay way from the high tensed January 30th event was a personal decision despite having been seen and heard telling supporters to attend the event in large numbers.
“I did not want the swearing in at Uhuru Park to happen. We as Nasa co-principals discussed the merits and demerits of a parallel oath. My position then and now was that we could not have a former Prime Minister, two former Vice Presidents and two former Foreign Affairs Ministers engage in a process that is unconstitutional,” Mudavadi said during the interview.
Mudavadi’s recent reasoning did not go in line with his party’s secretary general Barack Muluka who had announced in March 2018 that they had been ‘tricked’ by Odinga.
“I was there and waiting. Even Boni Khalwale was there alongside other principals (including Mudavadi. Raila knows in the name of God that what I am saying is the truth. He told the gentlemen to switch off their phones and that he would reach them with a foreign number from Nigeria. That call never came and they were not foolish enough to switch off their phones,” Muluka said back then.
