By BRIAN MOSETIMore by this AuthorThe Jubilee Party has defended President Kenyatta’s decision to call first sitting of Parliament next Thursday. Mr Kenyatta, Jubilee leaders said on Friday, is still the president until the next Head of State is sworn in, and has the authority to convene the House. NASA MPSLed by Garissa Township MP Aden Duale, the leaders said the petition challenging Mr Kenyatta’s election does not touch on Parliament. Mr Duale said National Super Alliance (Nasa) MPs and senators planning to boycott their swearing-in were being unwise and risking their authority. He called on Mr Odinga and his co-principals to allow Jubilee form the next government, insisting that Nasa lost the election.
