Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi has said he and his NASA
counterparts are ready to resign and leave their seats vacant for fresh
elections.
“Leaving our seats vacant is not a problem. The current
crisis can be solved when a fresh election is ordered,” he said.
The legislator blamed parliament for woes bedeviling the
country and said the house stands to be dissolved to clear way for a fresh election within
90 days.
“Parliament has failed in its duties to end the current
political problems the country is facing, it should therefore be dissolved to
pave way for a fresh election,” claimed Mr Atandi.
He was speaking during the funeral of Ms Jane Were, a former
civic leader at Pala Koguta Village in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County.
Mr Atandi said operations of the National assembly as
currently constituted is unconstitutional.
“The solution to the
current crisis is to have parliament dissolved to enable Kenyans go for a fresh
elections. We instead are going to have peoples’ assemblies where Kenyans are
going to use in agitation for fresh polls,” he said adding that the 12th parliament
has contributed to this stalemate and therefore it has outlived its usefulness.
“Parliament has failed to give direction in the current
political stalemate pitting President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. It
deserves to be dissolved immediately,” said Mr Atandi.
They vowed the coalition shall rally its supporters
across the country to ensure the boycott against products and services of those
companies they have accused of aiding the Jubilee government to rig election
continues in earnest.
