Uhuru Kenyatta is still serving the first term in office, and the law is very clear on that," said Majority Leader Aden Duale. NASA leadership, led by Senator Moses Wetangula on Tuesday rallied the coalition MPs against attending Uhuru's address, challenging his decision to call parliament for the joint sitting and insisting that his incumbency was temporally. NASA leader Raila Odinga also faulted Uhuru's decision to address the sitting, arguing that he lacked the legal mandate to do so.
