By SAMWEL OWINOMore by this AuthorThe opposition has criticised President Uhuru Kenyatta for calling the first sitting of Parliament Thursday next week despite a petition challenging the validity of his re-election. National Super Alliance (Nasa) co-principal Moses Wetang’ula said Mr Kenyatta’s move was in bad faith and meant to weigh down Raila Odinga’s case at the Supreme Court. MEETINGAddressing the press at Okoa Kenya offices in Nairobi on Friday, Mr Wetang'ula termed the decision by President Kenyatta as premature. “We will not allow computer-generated leaders to interfere with our democratic space, we will remain united and fight for a better democratic space in this country,” Mr Wetangula said. Their statement came hours after the Jubilee Party defended President Kenyatta’s decision to call first sitting of Parliament, saying he acted within his mandate.
