Opposition leader Raila Odinga has named a transition team of eight technocrats and close associates to oversee government handover if he wins the presidency on Tuesday.
According to a local daily, the transition management team has been meeting to identify priority areas if the former Prime Minister is victorious in the closely contested election.
Part of the team will join top government officials, formally known as the Assumption of the Office of the President Committee, to spearhead the handover of power.
The transition team represents nominees of all five NASA principals. hey are experts in the Constitution and legal affairs, economics, governance, security, politics and public policy.
It will be headed by law don Dr Mutakha Kangu, ex-chairman of the now-defunct Task Force on Devolved Government.
Other members are economist Dr David Ndii, East Africa Legislative Assembly member Abubakar Zein and lawyer Paul Mwangi.
Raila’s running mate, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, is represented by Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Tongaren MP Eseli Simiyu represents Ford Kenya boss Moses Wetang’ula.
Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto, the CCM party boss, is represented by his party chairman Isiolo Deputy Governor Mohammed Guleid.
The transition team will develop the NASA Cabinet portfolios, among other tasks.
On Wednesday Raila told Reuters in Suswa, Narok, that Jubilee cannot win next week’s General Election without rigging the result.
“There is no other way Jubilee can win election, other than through rigging and they know it. That is why they are making all the efforts,” he said.
