Junet said that there is need for the MP’s who have slots in parliament under NASA leadership to ascertain whether they are backing Wetangula’s sentiments to give the NASA parliamentary group a leeway of the next course of action.
Mbadi termed Wetangula’s assertions that Odinga is not a team player nor trustworthy as mere lies which entail character assassination.
