NGO Council Tells Raila to Abandon His Planned Swearing-in
The Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) council has urged opposition leader Raila Odinga to abandon his plan to be sworn-in as president.
In a statement, NGO council chairperson Stephen Cheboi instead called on the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader to reach out to President Kenyatta for dialogue on how to move the country forward.
“A united Kenyan nation is very important for us all East Africa region and the Africa continent at large,” Cheboi said.
President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto took Oath of Office for their second term on Tuesday at a ceremony held at Kasarani Stadium.
Odinga, who pulled out of the October 26th repeat presidential race ,has vowed not to recognize Uhuru as president and has announced his swearing in in two weeks time.
“Uhuru Kenyatta is not the president of Kenya. We do not recognise the October 28 election, that was a fake election. 83% of the population boycotted the election,” he said on Tuesday.
"I am not a coward, I will be sworn as president on Jamhuri Day, I am the legitimate president," said Raila.
Cheboi has however urged Odinga to shelve the plan, arguing that its time to allow the country to heal after a prolonged and divisive political period.
“All Kenyans should note that we can only have one president at a time and for now the office is occupied based on the recent processes,” he said.
“We urge the government of President Uhuru Kenyatta to immediately settle down and start implementing their manifesto,” he said on Thursday.

This is a clever way of Mr. "Tinga" NOT to swear himself in as a president of Jamhuri. He very well knows the consequences of swearing himself in as a president, " Treason" Period.
At around 10th. or there about his "men" ( the appointed group-Mouth pieces) will declare another date(s) beyond 12th.of Dec. the proposed swearing in date and add several county meetings or demonstrations(to buy time). Why? Tinga said "I am not a coward, I must be sworn in on 12th. Dec."
He will cling (pretend) to the people's decision of NOT swearing in on that said date(His men will shout he is a democrat- NOT a dictator)
Hii ni serakasi ya hekaya vya Abunwasi Baba.
Please Mr. Honorable Tinga, BABA, swallow your pride, accept the reality and plan for 2022. Kalonzo and Mudavadi are watching.We in ODM we don't want to see a repeat of 2017 search of flag bearer while UHURUTO were busy digging in into our backyard. I fear I see the same scenario 2022, Harafu " they rigged my votes ; vifaranga, Chebukati, Chilumba " Bure kabisa, You lost your votes by undoing what you have built for many years. Amka bwana. Your are still young and energetic for presidency. Age is just a number.
Failure to strategize now (note demonstrations and picketing is not a strategy- it is undoing your work) RUTO kumi tena(NOTE: KUMI- TEN TENA)
For this Tano Tena we really need you to be our "watchman" on EUROBOND; NYS ; HEALTH CONTAINERS ; WHO TOOK WHICH ROAD OR AIRPORT RESERVE LAND; CDF EXPENDITURES--BABA your basket is already over-Full.
