Former presidential aspirant
Abduba Dida has expressed his concerns over NASA’s planned demonstarations
starting today.
In
a news conference yesterday, Dida termed the move as ill-advised and one
that will hurt the country’s economy.
“As
much as NASA may be addicted to teargas, they can fight in their homes but
don’t do it tomorrow(Tuesday),” Dida said.
“NASA
may have valid concerns but the economy is at stake and people are fearful
about what will happen. Don’t add by bringing people to the streets.”
Dida,
who came fourth in the August 8 presidential election, however, said Chiloba,
Commissioners Abdi Guliye and Boya Molu, and other IEBC officials blamed for
mismanaging the August presidential poll annulled by the Supreme Court on September
1 need to step aside pending investigations.
“We’re
not indicting anybody of wrongdoing but their work has been questioned by the
court,” Dida noted.
The
retired literature and religion teacher also voiced concerns over the
exclusion of other candidates from the fresh presidential election saying the
October 26 poll should not be a re-run between President Uhuru Kenyatta and
Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
“IEBC
misinterpreted the 2013 presidential petition decision by former Chief Justice
Willy Mutunga and his bench and therefore I expect my name to be on the
ballot,” he said.
