NASA has maintained leader Raila Odinga will be sworn-in on Jamhuri Day and reported that plans have been smooth so far.
Oduor Ong'wen gave an
update of the road map for the People's Assembly on Friday and said the venue will be announced on Sunday.
The ODM executive director said
the committee spearheading the ceremony was still deliberating on a venue convenient and accessible to all Kenyans.
"All the counties that passed the motion have made requests to host the historic event," he said.

But Ong'wen did not clarify whether Raila will be sworn-in as president or leader of The People's Assembly.
He said after the inauguration, a national convention will be held to deliberate on the date for an election under the new leadership.
"What we are simply saying is that come Tuesday, many activities will be happening. We shall have motions to deliberate upon. The swearing-in of leaders is among the many activities that will take place," he told a press conference.
"If IEBC shall not have put a new regime in place, we shall be forced to go the separation way. Let it be made clear that it is the prevailing dictatorship in the country that has pushed us this far. We are not ready to back down," he said.
Ong'wen reported success so far and said their plans will culminate in the
formation of a constitutive assembly and the swearing-in on Tuesday.
He said the Opposition has sent
invitation letters to the Judiciary, National Police Service, Kenya Defense Forces and all independent commissions.
Noah Akala, who was unveiled as leader of the committee, said the National Resistance Movement has not violated any law.
"The reason why we have invited all these entities is to ensure we have a broad approach to all the issues affecting the constitutionalism of this country," he said, noting their activities have been within the confines of the law.
Akala noted they were
relying more on their legal team, unlike AG Githu Muigai's "who has issued baseless threats of high treason".
"It should be well noted that the same Raila we will swear-in spearheaded the promulgation of the current constitution. He is therefore the last person who can act against the same document he fought for."
