You'll Be Charged with Treason if 'Sworn in', AG Githu Muigai Warns Raila

Kenya Attorney General Githu Muigai has warned opposition leader Raila Odinga that he risks being charged with treason if goes ahead to be 'sworn in' as people's president.

Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, Prof Muigai, who is the chief legal adviser to the government said the plans by the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader is an illegality that would attract charges of treason.

"I reiterate the any attempts to swear in any person as president other than the one elected in line with the constitution and in a manner provided for in the law is unlawful, illegal null and void," Prof Muigai said at the State Law office in Nairobi.

Odinga is set to be installed as president on December 12th after being endorsed by Nasa's people's assembly. Githu also cautioned the 11 counties that have approved the creation of people’s assembly, noting that the county assemblies could be charged with misuse of tax payer's money.

However, speaking in Nairobi on Thursday, Odinga told off Western countries led by the US, who have been piling pressure in him to shelve the swearing in plan.

"We thought we had friends but we were wrong and now we know they are enemies. Up to today, no single ambassador has condemned the killing of people by police," he said.

He added: "The western countries should, therefore, keep off the affairs of the country as Kenyan problems will only be solved by Kenyans themselves."

It doesn’t matter whether RAO is sworn in inside a cave or forest; it’s treason. The person administering the oath will also commit treason. Even those in attendance will be committing treason. There will be so many people to hang? Wheee! Who will do it?

History is repeating itself too soon...."it is an illegality.." someone remind me where I heard it..and ...the irregularity (Raila itself)has been going on for way too long. Squeeze his remaining balls to a halt.

People like Githu Muigai are the reason Kikuyu are bitter bastards.They don't care about the welfare of their sick relatives.

Why did you not charge your kamwana president with theft and making a fool of Kenyans by attempting to rig the October élections and then going ahead and insisting that he was democratically elected when less than 30% of registered voters voted for him. You think it was a race on who got sworn in first become president well you thought wrong.NASA does not recognise this Jubi government thus your threats will continue to fall on deaf ears. When you have a prison large enough to house the entire opposition maybe then we will listen however for now the resistance movement will continue.

Stop it @Doreen. You sound dumb as a rock. Tell you what my dear, go have a nice healthy dinner of medium rare baked chicken with sembe, chill and wait for the inauguration of baba. If your belly starts rumbling, believe me you're just getting anxious anticipating for the grand day.
