The United States Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Mr. Donald Yamamoto has written to NASA’s Chief Executive Officer Norman Magaya.
In a letter dated 5th December 2017, the Federal Government of the United States is urging Norman Magaya to drop his hard line stance against Uhuru’s leadership to pave way for negotiation.
The letter reads as quoted:
“The United States of America recognizes your pivotal role and contributions in the NASA coalition especially as a young person. You have stood for what you believe in.
It is however time you drop your hard line stance against the current government to pave way for a meaningful engagement between HE Uhuru Kenyatta and The Rt. Hon Raila Odinga.
Your radical position of insistence that Hon. Odinga must be sworn in on 12th December may jeopardize the peace and stability in the country and possibly plunge the nation into violence.
As the head of African Affairs, I am concerned by the current trend in Kenya.”
The letter implies that USA is against the swearing in of opposition leader Raila Odinga.
