The NASA leadership has allayed its fears regarding the
flight that their leader Raila Odinga will be using while returning to Kenya.
On Thursday, ODM’s Director of Elections and Suna East MP,
Junet Mohamed raised the alarm and claimed that the NASA team had learnt that
the government had made plans to divert Odinga’s flight to either Kisumu or
Eldoret airports.
The Kenya Police has in the last three days clashed with the
Opposition, which announced that they would organise a million-man crowd to
welcome the former Prime Minister.
Nairobi Police Commandant Japheth Koome insisted that
JKIA would remain out of bound for politicians and journalists, adding
that the NASA leader could only be welcomed by family members.
Odinga will be jetting back from a 10-day foreign trip that
saw him meet a number of important government officials.
He is also believed to have made stopovers in London and in
Germany where he paid a visit to his deputy, Kalonzo Musyoka who has been
tending to his ailing wife.
ODM spokesman, Philp Etale, confirmed that his party leader
would on Friday afternoon land in Nairobi.
