Part of the statement read. There have been strings of reports in recent times over potential discord within the NASA leaders, more recently after the outlawed inauguration of leader Raila Odinga on January 30.

The conspicuous absence of all three other co principals (Mudavadi, Wetangula and Kalonzo) from the controversial event brew more speculation that there was an impending fallout.

Among the issues they are setting their sights on included Electoral Justice, Police Reforms, Strengthening the Judiciary, Strengthening Devolution and Reforming the Executive.
