December 6, 2017, marked a significant day in Kenya's history as the country woke up to the news that the National Super Alliance (NASA) had applied for 12 venues in a bid to hold a smooth ceremony for Raila Odinga's inauguration on December 12, 2017.

The secrecy surrounding the planning of the event has left many pundits puzzled, with some speculating that the NASA team is dead serious about making good their threat to swear Raila Odinga in as President of the Republic of Kenya.

According to information reaching The Kenyan Report, only proven loyalists and close aides are privy to the plans, with even NASA-leaning bloggers left in the dark. This is intended to seal the possibility of any potential leaks to the government and security agencies.

The government has intensified its threat towards the opposition by arresting its strongest critics within its ranks, including Dr. David Ndii, who is spearheading NASA's strategy think tank.

As December 12th gets closer, Kenyans and the world will be watching to see how the government will respond to the planned inauguration ceremony.
