Muite forms new political alliance

• Safina leader Paul Muite forms new political alliance.

• Alliance says it seeks a sound economic and social management of the country.

Safina leader Paul Muite has teamed up with a university students’ organisation and other fringe parties to form a new political alliance.

The Progressive Parties Alliance (PROPA) is a grouping of the Kenya National Youth Alliance that identifies itself with the outlawed Mungiki sect,Students Organisation of University of Nairobi (SONU), a lobby group- Bunge la Mwananchi  and representatives from Sisi Kwa Sisi and Saba Saba Asili parties.

While launching the alliance at Ufungamano House, Mr Muite said it was ideologically progressive and consisted of genuine reformers, compassionate capitalists and social democrats.

He said the alliance seeks a sound economic and social management of the country.

Mr Muite said the grouping will in the next ten days open a regional office in Nakuru and start a recruitment drive. It is saddened by the widest gap between the rich and struggling majority poor.

He said the alliance draws its membership and support from the middle class, the professionals and majority poor.

Signing on behalf of Safina was Mr Muite, Mr Dan Mwangi for Sonu, Gitau Njuguna Gitau for KNYA and Sisi Kwa Sisi secretary-general Julius Mwangi.

“We will fight for constitutional and legal reforms and to provide a frame work for a more just society and do away with imperial presidency,” said Mr Muite.

The former MP further said they will ensure a permanent solution to the land issue and the resettlement of all internal refugees.
