Deputy President William Ruto Speaks ahead of Tuesday's Raila Swearing-in

Deputy President William Ruto has spoken for the first time about the planned swearing in of National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga, which is slated for Tuesday.

Speaking when he attended a Church Service at Buru Buru in Nairobi on Sunday, Ruto said the government does not recognize the planned inauguration.

Odinga, together with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka are scheduled to take oath as the People's President and Deputy People's President on January 30th. The coalition has maintained its leader trounced President Kenyatta, but was rigged out.

However, DP Ruto says the state does not recognize the function, insisting that time for election is over.

"The people had decided on their leaders during the elections and that's a closed chapter," he said, while assuring that the government would serve all Kenyans, including those who did not vote for Jubilee.

He further stated that the government is committed to uniting all Kenyans after the divisive electioneering period.

Ruto was flanked by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja, and MPs Kimani Ichung’wa (Kikuyu), James Gakuya (Embakasi North), Charles Njagua (Starehe) and Maina Kamanda (nominated).

Nasa has maintained it will go on with the swearing in plans despite threats from international community to impose sanctions on its leaders.

“I have received a flurry of calls and was told that I risk being a rebel, I was also told that I will be banned from travelling abroad. I told them that I do not have to travel outside Kenya. We will ensure that the August 8th results are respected,” Nasa chief Raila said on Saturday in Homa Bay.

He continued: “The era of military coups is over. When the incumbency captures the institutions of governance including the Legislature making it subordinate to the Executive, when it intimidates the Judiciary into submission and captures the electoral commission and controls the instruments of power including the military and the police it only means that any election becomes a ritual which the incumbency must win."
