The intelligence report, verified by numerous security sources, revealed that the Democratic Union of Africa (DUA), an association of conservative political parties in various African countries on whose ticket Mr. Mac Manu was traveling to Kenya as an observer of the elections and opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) were attempting to manipulate the Kenyan election in favour of the NASA and its Presidential candidate Raila Odinga.Â
Mustapha Hamid says that government has taken notice of Mr Mac Manu’s deportation and is certain that he was only carrying out his duties. He emphasized that although government is monitoring the polls, it has no interest in whoever emerges winner.
