Be ready for consequences, the government has told National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga over the planned swearing in as the people's president, set for January 30th.
Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, government spokesman Eric Kiraithe said the pending inauguration of the opposition leader will be a violation of the Constitution.
“The Constitution of this country is very clear. The law is very clear,” he said during his weekly briefing to journalists on Thursday.
“Anybody who says he will break the law…should expect consequences within the law.”
Earlier, Attorney General Githu Muigai cautioned NASA leaders that such plans would attract charges of high treason, which is punishable by death.
In an interview with Voice of America (VoA) on Wednesday, Odinga said he is ready to take oath as the People’s President and run a rival government from exile, if it means so.
However, Kiraithe insisted that time for politics is over and Kenyans should now focus on pushing the government to deliver its promises.
“My being sworn-in is a statement that an illegitimate government is in office and the legitimate government elected by the people is not in office,” he told VoA’s Kennedy Wandera.
“We will work like a government and appoint ministers even if we have to run the government in exile,” Odinga explained.
In response, Kiraithe said: “There are no political temperatures in this country, Kenyans have embarked on building their lives and politics are only relevant to the extent they are moving this country from one level of development to another.”
“It is not an issue of holding the country with useless propaganda internally from January to …we shall have elections in 2022.”

Punishable by death -- how is this done ? wana nyonga na kamba ama wana chinja kama kuku ?
Lodwar by Landover and not helicopter will be the destination after swearing in. Halafu, kinyonga. Kenya ina serikali; even to add salt, Kenya inawenyewe.
wenyewe ni akina nani ?
@Anonymous.. Wata nyonga na kamba and have a firing squad at the same time for good measure.
Round them up using the affidavit they signed and take them to Kamiti to be hanged as soon as possible. The rounding-up should start immediately after swearing-in. Seal all the exits of their venue kamata wote
Been there done that. Baba ataapishwa pende msipende .Mezeni wembe ama mjinyonge.
Raila is no SHIThole please: He WON the Presidential Election on 8/8/17. So wacheni Upuzi na Vitisho.
Let this guys be serious and embrace dialogue if possible to move Kenya to another destination, their plans might bring chaos.
moto huzimwa na moto wacha aapishwe
ataapishwa npande msipende!
sisi kama watu wa baba tulishinda election so mpaka tuone baba akiapishwa date 30
What dialogue? This lad has been financed to destabilise the democratically elected government of the Republic of Kenya.
Death by firing squad would be the only answer and it should be done in broad daylight at Uhuru Park.Period!
And please make sure he gets a free cut before his death so that he can go to hell as a circumcised idiot!
H.E. Uhuru, kindly give me the job as a Noose Man. I am a Kenyan citizen of sound mind, Registerd voter, and ready to work with little or no supervision.
Mr. Musyoka, please stay away from Joshua the Hitite.
Nitamnyonga nikipata hiyo kazi ninayoomba. Raisi wa Kenya, tafadhali nipe hiyo kazi ninaunda kitanzi saa hii. Wengi wamechoswa na huu jamaa.
it's unfortunate that Kenyans are still arrogant and behave as if we came from heaven to earth. in all liberation fronts there has to be sacrifice of life and I can asure my fellow Kenyans that if Raila takes oarth as planned then it's the end of Uhuru Kenyatta because if Kenya plungs into civil unrest all citizens will be accountable regardless of tribe religion wealth or profession. I talk with experience
choices and consequence
eti experience? where did u get that my fren?
The government has every right to act violently for this act of coup. That means a tooth for tooth or as attorney General said. Please Gk act mercilessly on this fake Joshua.
