Deputy President William Ruto's allies have accused Nasa and a section of Jubilee legislators of 'taking the government hostage' through the BBI for the past four years.
In a statement read on Thursday after the 'Hustlers' Parliamentary Group meeting in Karen, the MPs said as a result, they sabotaged and scuttled the Big Four Agenda plan of job creation, universal health coverage, food security and manufacturing.
"Regrettably, the Nasa coalition, its principals and their Jubilee collaborators took the government hostage and hijacked its agenda," Kandara MP Alice Wahome who read part of the statement said.
"They mismanaged the economy leading to stockpiling of public debt to unprecedented levels occasioning the current crisis."
The MPs said they had consistently and repeatedly raised concerns and objections to Jubilee’s abandoning of its agenda upon which it was re-elected in 2017.
Wahome said Nasa completely destroyed the governing Jubilee party and dismembered the entire opposition coalition.
"They emasculated Parliament, undermined the rule of law, threatened the independence of the Judiciary and emboldened impunity," she said.
The MPs further accused Nasa of presiding over the brutal and inhuman evictions as well as demolitions of the vulnerable and destruction of private property in places like Kariobangi, Ruai, among others.
They also accused their counterparts of criminalising hustler enterprises in places like Nyamakima, Gikomba, Kamukunji, Kirinyaga road, River road among others.
The MPs said through their bottom-up economic and governance model, it is possible to enable the over 15 million Kenyans at the bottom of the pyramid to be active and meaningful participants in the economy.
This they said will be done through public/private labour-intensive investment framework to create jobs and financing instruments and mechanisms to spur, promote and empower hustler enterprises.
Such enterprises, they said, will include the mama mboga, hawkers, boda bodas, artisans, artists among others.
"In the meantime, we will continue sponsoring and supporting people-centred legislation and policies that entrench the objectives of the Bottom-up economic and governance model."
The UDA-allied MPs said the Hustler Nation will prioritise the 'Bottom-up' over 'trickle-down economics' and economic transformation over opportunistic constitutional amendment.
