What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors at NASA? Inside the Leaked Steering Committee Memo

For months, the National Super Alliance (NASA) tried to convince Kenyans that the search for their 2017 presidential flag bearer was cordial, united, and smooth. Many suspected that was far from the truth, and now there is proof of the intense backroom tug-of-war that actually took place.

In this analysis video, I break down a highly confidential, leaked NASA document dated February 22, 2017, that changes everything we thought we knew about how the coalition picked its candidate.

Here is a sneak peek at what I uncover in the video:

The Explosive Legal Wording: Drafted by a lawyer, the leaked steering committee document doesn’t just propose or suggest a candidate, it confirms a final decision that Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka be the 2017 presidential flag bearer, pending only formal ratification by the delegates' forum. The principals weren't even supposed to debate it.

Connecting the Dots: Once you see the date on this confidential memo, the dramatic political events that followed suddenly make complete sense. From Kalonzo’s rushed, high-fanfare Wiper nomination certificate ceremony on March 16, to the "No Kalonzo, No NASA" slogans and the Machakos Declaration, it was all a desperate reaction to a process that was being hijacked.

The "Kenya's Donald Trump" Factor: Could Kalonzo have actually delivered votes from Uhuru Kenyatta’s Central Kenya backyard, Rift Valley, and Northeastern better than Raila Odinga? I weigh the undeniable political advantages Kalonzo held against the glaring leadership cracks inside Wiper including the high-profile fallouts with Senator Johnston Muthama and Senator David Musila.

The Twist Nobody Saw Coming: Most people automatically assume Raila Odinga simply outmaneuvered Kalonzo behind closed doors. The reality is much more explosive and it’s not what you think.

The Fraying Alliance: Kenya's Evolving Political Landscape

Recent political developments in Kenya suggest a significant shift in the relationship between President William Ruto's administration and the ODM faction within the broad-based government. Political analyst Kumekucha Chris argues that the alliance is facing existential challenges, primarily due to conflicting expectations regarding power-sharing and electoral strategy. Key Points of Contention Strategic Zoning Disputes: ODM is pushing for "zoning," a strategy that would prevent UDA from fielding candidates in traditional ODM strongholds. However, the ruling coalition appears to be moving in the opposite direction, with reports indicating plans for UDA to field candidates across the country, directly challenging ODM's influence. Leadership Demands: A major sticking point is ODM's insistence that the running mate for the next election cycle must come from their own ranks. They have positioned this as an "irreducible minimum," seeking status as equal partn...

The Rise of Edwin Sifuna: A New Hope for Kenyan Leadership

In the evolving landscape of Kenyan politics, Senator Edwin Sifuna has emerged as a central figure in discussions regarding the 2027 presidential race. Unlike traditional political candidates, Sifuna is being closely scrutinized by citizens who are increasingly seeking a fundamental break from the status quo. Several key character traits are driving this surge in public interest. Courage Under Pressure Sifuna’s reputation for bravery is often traced back to the Gen Z-led protests at Parliament. While many legislators sought safety in tunnels or away from the scene, Sifuna remained visible, confronting police and advocating for the people. His willingness to stand his ground is viewed by many as a testament to his genuine care for the country, distinguishing him from colleagues who prioritized their personal safety. Integrity and Modesty In a political environment where many leaders face allegations of enriching themselves through public funds, Sifuna is frequently cited as one of the f...
